Hi!
The test description:
Verify writev() behaviour with partially valid iovec list.
Kernel <4.8 used to shorten write up to first bad invalid
iovec. Starting with 4.8, a writev with short data (under
page size) is likely to get shorten to 0 bytes and return
EFAULT.
This test doesn't make assumptions how much will write get
shortened. It only tests that file content/offset after
syscall corresponds to return value of writev().
