pread and pwrite

[Carsten Langgaard <carstenl@mips.com>]

I'm running some tests from LTP, which tests pread and pwrite.
It look like pread/pwrite doesn't do any check, if they are called with
'buf =NULL' or 'offset < 0', and no error is return.
If I look in glibc in sysdeps/generic/pread.c it look like this:

ssize_t
__libc_pread (int fd, void *buf, size_t nbytes, off_t offset)
{
  if (nbytes == 0)
    return 0;
  if (fd < 0)
    {
      __set_errno (EBADF);
      return -1;
    }
  if (buf == NULL || offset < 0)
    {
      __set_errno (EINVAL);
      return -1;
    }

  __set_errno (ENOSYS);
  return -1;
}

Here there is some checking for sane values and a proper error value is
return.
I guess this routine is replaced, if we have the syscall implemented
with the sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/pread.c file.
Here there is no check for sane values, is there any reason why ?
The same thing goes for pwrite.
