Applied, thanks. Just a heads-up that gmail thinks your email is spam.

Were my two patches from 17.08 able to make it through the filter? Thanks, Maciej

The value that struct cftype .write() method returns is then directly returned to userspace as the value returned by write() syscall, so it should be the number of bytes actually written (or consumed) and not zero. Returning zero from write() syscall makes programs like /bin/echo or bash spin. Signed-off-by: Maciej S.
