[ Upstream commit 6d8e294bf5f0e85c34e8b14b064e2965f53f38b0 ]
When inserting random PFNs for debugging the CEC through
(debugfs)/ras/cec/pfn, depending on the return value of pfn_set(),
multiple values get inserted per a single write.
That is because simple_attr_write() interprets a retval of 0 as
success and claims the whole input. However, pfn_set() returns the
cec_add_elem() value, which, if > 0 and smaller than the whole input
length, makes glibc continue issuing the write syscall until there's
input left:
pfn_set
simple_attr_write
debugfs_attr_write
full_proxy_write
vfs_write
ksys_write
do_syscall_64
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
leading to those repeated calls.
Return 0 to fix that.
