If a read() is interrupted by a signal after it has successfully read some data, it shall return the number of bytes read."
Fair point - I guess technically EFAULT is not a signal. I still think its a better behaviour to not lose bytes but objection withdrawn.
No, we'd only go into wait_event_interruptible() if we haven't read anything yet so we won't lose any data here.
