Linux kernel source tree
1b2ff639ff
We introduced a couple of helpers for copying iomem over iov_iter, and the functions were formed like the former copy_from/to_user(), and the return value was adjusted to 0/-EFAULT, which made the code transition a bit easier at that time. OTOH, the standard copy_from/to_iter() functions have different argument orders and the return value, and this difference can be confusing. It's not only confusing but dangerous; actually I did write a wrong code due to that once :-< For reducing the confusion, this patch changes the syntax of those helpers to align with the standard copy_from/to_iter(). The argument order is changed and the return value is the size of copied bytes. The callers of those functions are updated accordingly, too.

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 reStructuredText 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.
