From: Maciej S. Szmigiero Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2018 21:56:45 +0000 (+0200) Subject: block, bfq: return nbytes and not zero from struct cftype .write() method X-Git-Tag: v4.19-rc1~56^2~7 X-Git-Url: https://asedeno.scripts.mit.edu/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fc8ebd01deeb12728c83381f6ec923e4a192ffd3;p=linux.git block, bfq: return nbytes and not zero from struct cftype .write() method The value that struct cftype .write() method returns is then directly returned to userspace as the value returned by write() syscall, so it should be the number of bytes actually written (or consumed) and not zero. Returning zero from write() syscall makes programs like /bin/echo or bash spin. Signed-off-by: Maciej S.
