[patch 3/3] [ltp] Remove testcase for "Buffer size is not positive" in kernel/syscalls/readlink/readlink03

STALE6543d

From: Daniel Gollub <hidden>
Date: 2008-10-23 15:06:55
Also in: linux-man, lkml

Remove testcase for "Buffer size is not positive" in testcase readlink03, since
buffer size argument is type of size_t (unsigned) and negative value are not
possible. With proposed sys_readlink modification a buffer size of 0 ends in a
return value of 0, not -1 anymore.

(This modification depends on man-pages and linux syscalls modifications,
 provided by this patch queue)
