When part of the user buffer passed to generic_perform_write() or
iomap_file_buffered_write() cannot be faulted in for reading, the entire
write currently fails. The correct behavior would be to write all the
data that can be written, up to the point of failure.
Commit a6294593e8a1 ("iov_iter: Turn iov_iter_fault_in_readable into
fault_in_iov_iter_readable") gave us the information needed, so fix the
page prefaulting in generic_perform_write() and iomap_write_iter() to
only bail out when no pages could be faulted in.
We already factor in that pages that are faulted in may no longer be
resident by the time they are accessed. Paging out pages has the same
effect as not faulting in those pages in the first place, so the code
can already deal with that.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
