In i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated(), the function i2c_transfer() is invoked to transfer i2c messages. The number of actual transferred messages is returned and saved to 'status'. If 'status' is negative, that means an error occurred during the transfer process. In that case, the value of 'status' is an error code to indicate the reason of the transfer failure. In most cases, i2c_transfer() can transfer 'num' messages with no error. And so 'status' == 'num'. However, due to unexpected errors, it is probable that only partial messages are transferred by i2c_transfer(). As a result, 'status' != 'num'. This special case is not checked after the invocation of i2c_transfer() and can potentially lead to unexpected issues in the following execution since it is expected that 'status' == 'num'. This patch checks the return value of i2c_transfer() and returns an error code -EIO if the number of actual transferred messages 'status' is not equal to 'num'.

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.
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.
