If userspace provides a longer UUID buffer than is required, we shouldn't fail the call with EINVAL -- rather, we can fill the caller's buffer with the bytes we /can/ fill, and update the length field to reflect what we copied. This doesn't break the UAPI since we're enabling a case that currently fails, and so far Ted hasn't released a version of e2fsprogs that uses the new ext4 ioctl. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

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.
