Subject: [musl] [PATCH v2] avoid writing two iov in __stdio_write backend when not needed
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2020 19:43:42 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201012164342.2987876-1-jouni.roivas@tuxera.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201012163031.GA2950028@tuxera.com>

formally, calling writev with a zero-length first iov component should
behave identically to calling write on just the second component, but
presence of a zero-length iov component has triggered bugs in some
kernels.
