devmem: fix kmem write bug on memory holes
commit c85e9a97c4102ce2e83112da850d838cfab5ab13 upstream
devmem: fix kmem write bug on memory holes
[ cebbert@redhat.com : backport to 2.6.32 ]
write_kmem() used to assume vwrite() always return the full buffer length.
However now vwrite() could return 0 to indicate memory hole. This
creates a bug that "buf" is not advanced accordingly.
Fix it to simply ignore the return value, hence the memory hole.
