Subject: [PATCH 2/4] configfs: Fix writing at a non-zero offset
Date: Fri, 23 Jul 2021 14:23:51 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210723212353.896343-3-bvanassche@acm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210723212353.896343-1-bvanassche@acm.org>

Store data at the right offset when writing with a non-zero offset. I think
this patch fixes behavior introduced in the initial configfs commit. From a
source code comment in the initial configfs commit: "There is no easy way
for us to know if userspace is only doing a partial write, so we don't
support them."
