read() returns a ssize_t while sizeof() is a size_t. Thus the ssize_t is promoted to an unsigned integer. This leads to misinterpreting a -1 returned by read() on an error condition as successful read(). This commit fixes this by casting the sizeof() to an ssize_t. Alternatively a == -1 check should be sufficient as one would expect perf to make the requested data available in proper size or fail accordingly. Signed-off-by: Gnoxter <gnoxter@linuxlounge.net>
