From 60bb45297f7551833346c5cebc6d483ea17ea5f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2014 12:39:16 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] __generic_file_write_iter(): fix handling of sync error after DIO If DIO results in short write and sync write fails, we want to bugger off whether the DIO part has written anything or not; the logics on the return will take care of the right return value.
