[RFC][PATCH 10/13] make dump_emit() use vfs_write() instead of banging at ->f_op->write directly

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

 



... and deal with short writes properly - the output might be to pipe, after
all; as it is, e.g. no-MMU case of elf_fdpic coredump can write a whole lot
more than a page worth of data at one call.
