From 9687fd9101afaa1c4b1de7ffd2f9d7e53f45b29f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Engraf Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2014 14:23:16 -0700 Subject: initramfs: add write error checks On a system with low memory extracting the initramfs may fail. If this happens the user gets "Failed to execute /init" instead of an initramfs error. Check return value of sys_write and call error() when the write was incomplete or failed.
