nvmem: core: return EFBIG on out-of-range write
When writing data that exceeds the nvmem size to a nvmem sysfs file using the sh redirection operator >, the shell hangs, trying to write the out-of-range bytes endlessly. Fix the problem by returning EFBIG described in man 2 write. Similar change was done for binary sysfs files on commit 0936896056365349afa867c16e9f9100a6707cbf Signed-off-by: Guy Shapiro <guy.shapiro@mobi-wize.com> Cc: linux-api@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Srinivas Kandagatla <srinivas.kandagatla@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
