[PATCH RESEND v2 12/51] powerpc/rtas: consume the whole write to /proc/powerpc/rtas/progress

Christian Brauner brauner at kernel.org
Wed Nov 4 11:18:55 PST 2026


ppc_rtas_progress_write() shows the first 255 bytes of a write and
returns that many, so a writer that loops until everything is written
shows the rest as a second message. Return the whole count, the rest is
ignored.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
