Subject: [LTP] [PATCH] read: verify read size and data correctness
Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2026 00:37:21 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260321153734.5590-1-always.starving0@gmail.com> (raw)

The test only checked that read(2) did not fail, which allows
partial reads or unexpected data to pass unnoticed.

Verify that read(2) returns the expected number of bytes and
that the read data matches the written buffer.
