'copied' is unsigned, whereas 'ret2' is not. The test (copied < 0) fails

While your patch is correct, we don't need it :(

"copied" can never be < 0. Infact, the check itself is NOT needed. It might have been my fault to add that check, when we converted to write_begin/end interfaces :(

As you can see block_write_end() never returns < 0.

Thanks,
Badari
