Yes, it could. I went with "follow the conventions of write()" because
these are used in a big chain of write() calls (well, really
write_in_full). But given the current callers, it does not matter either
way.
Thanks for reviewing the series, and sorry if my comments have been a
bit terse. I'm trying to clear my pile before going out of town for a
few days (which I admit may have contributed to my desire for you to
prepare patches on top).
But either way, don't expect a re-roll until next week at the earliest.
