[PATCH] Replaced read with xread in transport-helper.c to fix SSIZE_MAX overun in t5509

From: Randall S. Becker <hidden>
Date: 2018-01-11 05:40:19
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

This fix was needed on HPE NonStop NSE where SSIZE_MAX is less than
BUFFERSIZE resulting in EINVAL. The call to read in transport-helper.c
was the only place outside of wrapper.c.
