Hi,
When I do "cat /dev/full", it prints an infinite stream of garbage to the terminal. I looked at the sources and found that read_full in drivers/char/mem.c advances the file position and returns count as if it had read count bytes. But it doesn't change the buffer. Is this behaviour correct? It seems a bit strange to me.
