Well spotted. Which means this code is also wrong.... :-/

We have the count of bytes to zero in a2, but that gets clobbered in the
exception handler and we always return a number of bytes uncopied within
STORSIZE.

This test code:

static int __init __attribute__((optimize("O0"))) test_clear_user(void)
{
int j, k;

pr_info("\n\n\nTesting clear_user\n");

for (j = 0; j < 512; j++) {
if ((k = clear_user(NULL+3, j)) != j) {
pr_err("clear_user (NULL %d) returned %d\n", j, k);
}
}

return 0;
}
late_initcall(test_clear_user);

on a 64r6el kernel results in:

[ 3.965439] Testing clear_user
[ 3.973169] clear_user (NULL 8) returned 6
[ 3.976782] clear_user (NULL 9) returned 6
[ 3.980390] clear_user (NULL 10) returned 6
[ 3.984052] clear_user (NULL 11) returned 6
[ 3.987524] clear_user (NULL 12) returned 6
[ 3.991179] clear_user (NULL 13) returned 6
[ 3.994841] clear_user (NULL 14) returned 6
[ 3.998500] clear_user (NULL 15) returned 6
[ 4.002160] clear_user (NULL 16) returned 6
[ 4.005820] clear_user (NULL 17) returned 6
[ 4.009480] clear_user (NULL 18) returned 6
[ 4.013140] clear_user (NULL 19) returned 6
[ 4.016797] clear_user (NULL 20) returned 6
[ 4.020456] clear_user (NULL 21) returned 6

I'll post another fix soon, and update this comment to reflect the
corrected behavior.

Thanks,
Matt
