      [PATCH] generic_file_buffered_write(): handle zero-length iovec segments · 81b0c871
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      The recent generic_file_write() deadlock fix caused
      generic_file_buffered_write() to loop inifinitely when presented with a
      zero-length iovec segment.  Fix.
      
      Note that this fix deliberately avoids calling ->prepare_write(),
      ->commit_write() etc with a zero-length write.  This is because I don't trust
      all filesystems to get that right.
      
      This is a cautious approach, for 2.6.17.x.  For 2.6.18 we should just go ahead
      and call ->prepare_write() and ->commit_write() with the zero length and fix
      any broken filesystems.  So I'll make that change once this code is stabilised
      and backported into 2.6.17.x.
      
      The reason for preferring to call ->prepare_write() and ->commit_write() with
      the zero-length segment: a zero-length segment _should_ be sufficiently
      uncommon that this is the correct way of handling it.  We don't want to
      optimise for poorly-written userspace at the expense of well-written
      userspace.
