Subject: [PATCH] adjust /dev/{kmem,mem,port} write handlers
Date: Fri, 03 Mar 2006 10:31:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44081B03.76F0.0078.0@novell.com> (raw)

The /dev/mem and /dev/kmem write handlers weren't fully POSIX compliant in
that they wouldn't always force the file pointer to be updated when returning
success status.
The /dev/port write handler was inconsistent with the /dev/mem and /dev/kmem
handlers in that when encountering a -EFAULT condition after already having
written a number of items it would return -EFAULT rather than the number of
bytes written.
