[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 2/2] tools/libxc: Implement writev_exact() in the same style as write_exact()

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This implementation of writev_exact() will cope with an iovcnt greater than
IOV_MAX because glibc will actually let this work anyway, and it is very
useful not to have to work about this in the caller of writev_exact().  The
caller is still required to ensure that the sum of iov_len's doesn't overflow
a ssize_t.

v4:
 * Set errno to 0 when exiting due to 0-length iov[]s.
v3:
 * Re-add adjustment for partial writes.
 * Split min/max adjustment into separate patch.
v2:
 * Remove adjustment for partial writes of a specific iov[] entry.
