cgroup: Zero sized write should be no-op
Do not report failure on zero sized writes, and handle them as no-op. There's issues for example in case of writev() when there's iovec containing zero buffer as a first one. It's expected writev() on below example to successfully perform the write to specified writable cgroup file expecting integer value, and to return 2. For now it's returning value -1, and skipping the write: int writetest(int fd) { const char *buf1 = ""; const char *buf2 = "1\n"; struct iovec iov[2] = { { .iov_base = (void*)buf1, .iov_len = 0 }, { .iov_base = (void*)buf2, .iov_len = 2 } }; return writev(fd, iov, 2); } This patch fixes the issue by checking if there's nothing to write, and handling the write as no-op by just returning 0.
