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. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Cc: linux-edac <linux-edac@vger.kernel.org>
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.
