no, cnt is either 0 or -1 there (assuming readv works)

this is how __stdio_read is used (f->read):

        for (; l; l-=k, dest+=k) {
                k = __toread(f) ? 0 : f->read(f, dest, l);
                if (k+1<=1) {
                        FUNLOCK(f);
                        return (len-l)/size;
                }
        }

it handles the k == -1 and k == 0 case
