Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.

Commit 226fae12 ("vc_screen: move load of struct vc_data pointer in vcs_read() to avoid UAF") moved the call to vcs_vc() into the loop. While doing this it also moved the unconditional assignment of ret = -ENXIO; This unconditional assignment was valid outside the loop but within it it clobbers the actual value of ret. To avoid this only assign "ret = -ENXIO" when actually needed. [ Also, the 'goto unlock_out" needs to be just a "break", so that it does the right thing when it exits on later iterations when partial success has happened - Linus ] Reported-by:Storm Dragon <stormdragon2976@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Y%2FKS6vdql2pIsCiI@hotmail.com/ Fixes: 226fae12 ("vc_screen: move load of struct vc_data pointer in vcs_read() to avoid UAF") Signed-off-by:
