[ Upstream commit 6b89819b06d8d339da414f06ef3242f79508be5e ]
In __cachefiles_write(), if the return value of the write operation > 0, it
is set to 0. This makes it impossible to distinguish scenarios where a
partial write has occurred, and will affect the outer calling functions:
1) cachefiles_write_complete() will call "term_func" such as
netfs_write_subrequest_terminated(). When "ret" in __cachefiles_write()
is used as the "transferred_or_error" of this function, it can not
distinguish the amount of data written, makes the WARN meaningless.
2) cachefiles_ondemand_fd_write_iter() can only assume all writes were
successful by default when "ret" is 0, and unconditionally return the full
length specified by user space.
Fix it by modifying "ret" to reflect the actual number of bytes written.
Furthermore, returning a value greater than 0 from __cachefiles_write()
does not affect other call paths, such as cachefiles_issue_write() and
fscache_write().
