snapshot_write() is inappropriately limiting the amount of data that can
be written in cases where a partial page has already been written. For
example, one would expect to be able to write 1 byte, then 4095 bytes to
the snapshot device, and have both of those complete fully (since now
we're aligned to a page again). But what ends up happening is we write 1
byte, then 4094/4095 bytes complete successfully.

The reason is that simple_write_to_buffer()'s second argument is the
total size of the buffer, not the size of the buffer minus the offset.
Since simple_write_to_buffer() accounts for the offset in its
implementation, snapshot_write() can just pass the full page size
directly down.

Do you actually see this problem in practice?

Yes. I may fire up another thread to explain why I'm stuck doing a
partial page write, and how I might be able to stop doing that in the
future with some kernel help. But either way, this is a bug.

OK, patch applied as 5.16-rc material.

I guess it should go into -stable kernels too?

Yes, putting it into -stable would make sense also. I should have CCed
them originally, doing that now.

<formletter>

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.

Well, you need to point them to the upstream commit to backport.

In this particular case it would be

commit 88a5045f176b78c33a269a30a7b146e99c550bd9 (pm-sleep)
Author: Evan Green <evgreen@chromium.org>
Date:   Fri Oct 29 12:24:22 2021 -0700

   PM: hibernate: Fix snapshot partial write lengths

I'll send an inclusion request for this.  I guess it should go into
all of the applicable -stable series, right?

Correct. From what I can tell this code and simple_write_to_buffer()
haven't changed since its introduction in 2010, so my patch should

Fixes: d3c1b24c50e8 ("PM / Hibernate: Snapshot cleanup")

Thanks for doing that Rafael, sorry for flubbing the stable aspect.
