3.16.70-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 442601e87a4769a8daba4976ec3afa5222ca211d upstream. Return -E2BIG when the transfer is incomplete. The upper layer does not retry, so not doing that is incorrect behaviour.
