This is a particularly ugly on-failure bug, possibly security, since the lack of error handling here is covering up another class of bug: failure to handle copy_to_user() return values. The I4L API function ->readstat() returns an integer, and by looking at several existing driver implementations, it is clear that a negative return value was meant to indicate an error. Given that several drivers already return a negative value indicating an errno-style error, the current code would blindly accept that [negative] value as a valid amount of bytes read. Obvious damage ensues. Correcting ->readstat() handling to properly notice errors fixes the existing code to work correctly on error, and enables future patches to more easily indicate errors during operation.
