    gfs2: Prevent endless loops in gfs2_file_buffered_write · 554c577c
    Andreas Gruenbacher authored
    Currently, instead of performing a short write,
    iomap_file_buffered_write will fail when part of its iov iterator cannot
    be read.  In contrast, gfs2_file_buffered_write will loop around if it
    can read part of the iov iterator, so we can end up in an endless loop.
    
    This should be fixed in iomap_file_buffered_write (and also
    generic_perform_write), but this comes a bit late in the 5.16
    development cycle, so work around it in the filesystem by
    trimming the iov iterator to the known-good size for now.
