copy_linear_skb() is broken; both of its callers actually expect 'len' to be the amount we are trying to copy, not the offset of the end. Fix it keeping the meanings of arguments in sync with what the callers (both of them) expect. Also restore a saner behavior on EFAULT (i.e. preserving the iov_iter position in case of failure): The commitfd851ba9ca("udp: harden copy_linear_skb()") avoids the more destructive effect of the buggy copy_linear_skb(), e.g. no more invalid memory access, but said function still behaves incorrectly: when peeking with offset it can fail with EINVAL instead of copying the appropriate amount of memory.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
