6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Melbin K Mathew <mlbnkm1@gmail.com>

commit c2e819be6a5c7f34344926b4bd7e3dfca58cf48a upstream.

printer_read() uses the same variable for the requested copy size and
the number of bytes actually copied to user space. copy_to_user()
returns the number of bytes not copied, so when it fails to copy
anything, the computed copied length becomes zero.

In that case len, buf, current_rx_bytes and current_rx_buf are left
unchanged. If RX data is available and the user buffer remains
unwritable, the read loop can repeat indefinitely.

Track the copied length separately and return -EFAULT, or the number of
bytes already copied, if an iteration makes no progress.
