Takashi Iwai 1b2ff639ff ALSA: Align the syntax of iov_iter helpers with standard ones
We introduced a couple of helpers for copying iomem over iov_iter, and
the functions were formed like the former copy_from/to_user(), and the
return value was adjusted to 0/-EFAULT, which made the code transition
a bit easier at that time.

OTOH, the standard copy_from/to_iter() functions have different
argument orders and the return value, and this difference can be
confusing.  It's not only confusing but dangerous; actually I did
write a wrong code due to that once :-<

For reducing the confusion, this patch changes the syntax of those
helpers to align with the standard copy_from/to_iter().  The argument
order is changed and the return value is the size of copied bytes.
The callers of those functions are updated accordingly, too.

Linux kernel

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use make htmldocs or make pdfdocs. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
