    sunrpc: on successful gss error pipe write, don't return error · 486bad2e
    Jeff Layton authored
    When handling the gssd downcall, the kernel should distinguish between a
    successful downcall that contains an error code and a failed downcall
    (i.e. where the parsing failed or some other sort of problem occurred).
    
    In the former case, gss_pipe_downcall should be returning the number of
    bytes written to the pipe instead of an error. In the event of other
    errors, we generally want the initiating task to retry the upcall so
    we set msg.errno to -EAGAIN. An unexpected error code here is a bug
    however, so BUG() in that case.
