The simple_write_to_buffer() function is designed to handle partial
writes. It returns negatives on error, otherwise it returns the number
of bytes that were able to be copied. This code doesn't check the
return properly. We only know that the first byte is written, the rest
of the buffer might be uninitialized.
There is no need to use the simple_write_to_buffer() function.
Partial writes are prohibited by the "if (*ppos != 0)" check at the
start of the function. Just use memdup_user() and copy the whole
buffer.

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.
