Subject: [PATCH 1/2] libfile: advance offset in pread_full() on short reads
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 11:55:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826095604.2652204-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
pread_full() loops until the requested size was read, but reads from
the same offset on every iteration, so a short read is followed by
re-reading the same data instead of the remainder.
Advance the offset along with the buffer pointer.
Fixes: 59d6b83f1d4b ("libfile: implement new pread_full")
Assisted-by: Claude:fable-5

While a fix, I would keep it in next, just to watch if this leads to
adverse effects.
