read()/write() return an error (-1) and not the amount copied if there
is an actual error I believe:

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/read.2.html

I think that for the current return value, then it would be good for
the documentation in patch 6/6 to be more explicit. There it says:

> :Returns: number of bytes copied, < 0 on error (-EINVAL for incorrect
>           arguments, -EFAULT if memory cannot be accessed).

Later on it does state that if an error happens after some copying has
been done, it returns the number copied. But that's at the end of the
section. I think it would be less confusing to have it in the summary
(with the "Returns").
