s390/ipl: Do not accept z/VM CP diag X'008' cmds longer than max length
The old implementation of vmcmd sysfs string attributes truncated passed z/VM CP diagnose X'008' commands which were longer than the max allowed number of characters but the reported number of written characters was still equal to the entire length of a given string. This can result in silent failures of some s390-tools (e.g. dumpconf) which can be very hard to detect. Therefore, this commit makes a write attempt to a vmcmd sysfs attribute * fail with E2BIG error if a given string is longer than the maximum allowed one * never destroy the old data in the vmcmd sysfs attribute if the new data doesn't fit into it entirely * return the actual number of written characters if it succeeds Reviewed-by: Heiko Carstens <hca@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Alexander Egorenkov <egorenar@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Alexander Gordeev <agordeev@linux.ibm.com>
