Subject: Revert "[PATCH] generic_file_buffered_write(): handle zero-length iovec segments"
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4b49643fbb3fa8bf4910f82be02d45e94e8972a4;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

Revert "[PATCH] generic_file_buffered_write(): handle zero-length iovec segments"

This reverts commit 81b0c8713385ce1b1b9058e916edcf9561ad76d6, which was
a bugfix against 6527c2bdf1f833cc18e8f42bd97973d583e4aa83 ("[PATCH]
generic_file_buffered_write(): deadlock on vectored write"), which we
also revert.
