[char-misc-next 5/5] mei: revamp read and write length checks

From: Tomas Winkler
Date: Sun Sep 01 2013 - 20:12:51 EST


1. Return zero on zero length read and writes
2. For a too large write return -EFBIG as defined in man write(2)
EFBIG An attempt was made to write a file that
exceeds the implementation-defined maximum
file size or the process's file size limit,
or to write at a position past the maximum
allowed offset.
