From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> If userspace provides a longer UUID buffer than is required, we shouldn't fail the call with EINVAL -- rather, we can fill the caller's buffer with the bytes we /can/ fill, and update the length field to reflect what we copied. This doesn't break the UAPI since we're enabling a case that currently fails, and so far Ted hasn't released a version of e2fsprogs that uses the new ext4 ioctl. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
