Some consumers of the iov_iter will return an error, but still have bytes consumed in the iterator. This is an issue for -EAGAIN, since we rely on a sane iov_iter state across retries. Fix this by ensuring that we revert consumed bytes, if any, if the file operations have consumed any bytes from iterator. This is similar to what generic_file_read_iter() does, and is always safe as we have the previous bytes count handy already.

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.
