[ Upstream commit fd00cf81a9a84776ba58e56bd042c726dcf75cf3 ] The receive_buf callback is supposed to return the number of bytes processed and should specifically not return a negative errno. Due to missing sanity checks in the serdev tty-port controller, a driver not providing a receive_buf callback could cause the flush_to_ldisc() worker to spin in a tight loop when the tty buffer pointers are incremented with -EINVAL (-22). The missing sanity checks have now been added to the tty-port controller, but let's fix up the serdev-controller helper as well.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
