Since last API changes for files >2GB, the read of symlink is broken as ext4fs_read_file now returns 0 instead of the length of the actual read.
Signed-off-by: Gary Bisson <gary.bis...@boundarydevices.com> --- Hi all, Switching from an old v2014.07 to v2015.07 we've noticed that we couldn't read symlinks any more. This is due to the API changes made to ext4fs_read_file (commit 9f12cd0). This patch makes the read symlink check both for errors (status < 0) and actual read length.
