Re: tree corrupted on disk quota full

Linus Torvalds [off-list ref] writes:

I personally think write_in_full() is totally mis-designed. If you are 
ready to handle partial writes, you should use "xwrite()". If you're not 
ready to handle partial writes, you should either use "write_or_die()", 
_or_ you should expect a partial write to at least return an error code 
(which is how "write_buffer()" works).

But that's not how write_in_full() actually works. Write-in-full does not 
return an error for a partial write, it returns the partial size.

Which is idiotic. It makes the function pointless. Just use xwrite() for 
that.

I agree 100% with the above reasoning.
