[PATCH 0/2] Fix some return value truncation problems on file writes.

From: Robin Holt
Date: Wed Sep 15 2004 - 14:21:24 EST



During some testing, it was noted that writing more than 2GB using
fwrite() to a file on tmpfs would continue to retry the write()
syscall until the entire filesystem was full. I was then encouraged
to verify XFS, ext2, ext3, reiserfs, and pipe. The only other
problem noted was from reiserfs with direct I/O. I did not test
the direct I/O code change.

Thanks,
Robin Holt
