commitd7f1b4bdc7upstream. The return value calculation was incorrect: `return len - buf_size;` Initially `len = buf_size`, then `len` decreases with each operation. This results in a negative return value on success. Fix by returning `buf_size - len` which correctly calculates the actual number of bytes written.
