Mixing a return of -1 and negative errno is ugly (as -1 is indistinguishable from -EPERM on many, but not all, operating systems). If you need to distinguish between different error types, then return negative errno in all places.

Or, if you really want better error messages, it might make sense to push errp setting down into fd_write_vmcore() (all callers have to be updated).
