2.0.x preserves the read position when you get an EFAULT. Nothing I 2.0.can find in the holy manual of posix says what happens if you 2.0.get an EFAULT on a tcp operation, so I think we can do what we 2.0.like.
Yes but I believe 2.0.x still sets the used bits on the SKB's just like in current 2.1.x as pointed out by Bill Hawes.
And really, I have to agree with Linus, the behavior of setting the sequence number back makes no sense, and this is what we have to decide.
