This patch fixes a >= v3.9+ regression in __core_scsi3_write_aptpl_to_file()
+ core_alua_write_tpg_metadata() write-out, where a return value of -EIO was
incorrectly being returned upon success.
This bug was originally introduced in:
commit 0e9b10a90f
Author: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
Date: Sat Feb 23 15:22:43 2013 -0500
target: writev() on single-element vector is pointless
However, given that the return of core_scsi3_update_and_write_aptpl()
was not used to determine if a command should be returned with non GOOD
status, this bug was not being triggered in PR logic until v3.11-rc1 by
commit:
commit 459f213ba1
Author: Andy Grover <agrover@redhat.com>
Date: Thu May 16 10:41:02 2013 -0700
target: Allocate aptpl_buf inside update_and_write_aptpl()
So, go ahead and only return -EIO if kernel_write() returned a
negative value.
