commit 513253f8c293c0c8bd46d09d337fc892bf8f9f48 upstream. recv_data either returns the number of received bytes, or a negative value representing an error code. Adding the return value directly to the total number of received bytes therefore looks a little weird, since it might add a negative error code to a sum of bytes. The following check for size < expected usually makes the function return ETIME in that case, so it does not cause too many problems in practice. But to make the code look cleaner and because the caller might still be interested in the original error code, explicitly check for the presence of an error code and pass that through.

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.
