Subject: selftests/mm/vm_util: robust write_file()
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 09:33:14 +0800
Add two more checks for buflen and numwritten. The buflen should be at
least one, otherwise the 'buflen - 1' could underflow and cause trouble.
The numwritten should be equal to 'buflen - 1'. The test will exit if any
of these conditions aren't met.
Additionally, add more print information when a write failure occurs or
a truncated write happens, providing clearer diagnostics.
