[PATCH] Return bytes transfered for partial direct I/O

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In case direct I/O encounters an error midway, it returns the error.
Instead it should be returning the number of bytes transferred so far.

Test case (with ENOSPC):
1. Create an almost full filesystem
2. Create a file, say /mnt/lastfile, until the filesystem is full.
3. Direct write() with count > sizeof /mnt/lastfile.

Result: write() returns -ENOSPC. However, file content has data written
in step 3.
