The "read_or_die()" function would silently NOT die for a partial read, and since it was of type "void" it obviously couldn't even return the partial number of bytes read. IOW, it was totally broken. This hopefully fixes it up. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> --- I'm really quite fed up with the "cleanups" that were just too buggy for words.
