commit e71a8d5cf4 upstream.
When I converted the tty_ldisc_ops 'read()' function to take a kernel
pointer, I was a bit too aggressive about the ldisc returning EOVERFLOW.
Yes, we want to have EOVERFLOW override any partially read data (because
the whole point is that the buffer was too small for the whole packet,
and we don't want to see partial packets), but it shouldn't override a
previous EFAULT.
And in fact, it really is just EOVERFLOW that is special and should
throw away any partially read data, not "any error". Admittedly
EOVERFLOW is currently the only one that can happen for a continuation
read - and if the first read iteration returns an error we won't have this issue.
So this is more of a technicality, but let's just make the intent very
explicit, and re-organize the error handling a bit so that this is all
clearer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
