[ Upstream commit f72207a5c0dbaaf6921cf9a6c0d2fd0bc249ea78 ]
The simple_write_to_buffer() function is designed to handle partial writes. It returns negatives on error, otherwise it returns the number of bytes that were able to be copied. This code doesn't check the return properly. We only know that the first byte is written, the rest of the buffer might be uninitialized.
There is no need to use the simple_write_to_buffer() function. Partial writes are prohibited by the "if (*ppos != 0)" check at the start of the function. Just use memdup_user() and copy the whole buffer.
