Subject: [PATCH] hppfs: hppfs_read_file() may return -ERROR
FYI: hppfs_read_file() is at: vi fs/hppfs/hppfs.c +212
------------------------------>8-------------8<---------------------------------
hppfs_read_file() may return (ssize_t) -ENOMEM, or -EFAULT. when stored in
size_t 'count', these errors will not be noticed, a large value will be added to
*ppos.
