Revision df0c09c0117300cd03f6e8532527bf591d4eee65 authored by Jann Horn on 16 October 2020, 03:12:43 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 16 October 2020, 18:11:21 UTC
dump_emit() has a retry loop, but there seems to be no way for that retry
logic to actually be used; and it was also buggy, writing the same data
repeatedly after a short write.

Let's just bail out on a short write.
