It is generally expected that the write() function should return a positive value indicating the number of bytes written or a negative error code if an error occurs. Returning 0 is unusual and can lead to unexpected behavior. When the user program writes the same value to wedged_mode twice in a row, a lockup will occur, because the value expected to be returned by the write() function inside the program should be equal to the actual written value instead of 0. To reproduce the issue: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/wedged_mode echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/wedged_mode <- lockup here Signed-off-by: Xin Wang <x.wang@intel.com> Cc: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com> Cc: Fei Yang <fei.yang@intel.com> Cc: Shuicheng Lin <shuicheng.lin@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20250213223615.2327367-1-x.wang@intel.com Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
