The patch titled
aio: partial write should not return error code
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
aio-partial-write-should-not-return-error-code.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: aio: partial write should not return error code
From: Rusty Russell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
When an AIO write gets an error after writing some data (eg. ENOSPC), it
should return the amount written already, not the error. Just like write()
is supposed to.
This was found by the libaio test suite.
