David Howells 66e9c6a86b afs: Fix afs_write_end() to handle short writes
Fix afs_write_end() to correctly handle a short copy into the intended
write region of the page.  Two things are necessary:

 (1) If the page is not up to date, then we should just return 0
     (ie. indicating a zero-length copy).  The loop in
     generic_perform_write() will go around again, possibly breaking up the
     iterator into discrete chunks[1].

     This is analogous to commit b9de313cf0
     for ceph.

 (2) The page should not have been set uptodate if it wasn't completely set
     up by netfs_write_begin() (this will be fixed in the next patch), so
     we need to set uptodate here in such a case.

Also remove the assertion that was checking that the page was set uptodate
since it's now set uptodate if it wasn't already a few lines above.  The
assertion was from when uptodate was set elsewhere.

Changes:
v3: Remove the handling of len exceeding the end of the page.

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 Restructured Text 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.
