Patch Review
**Verdict: Looks good.**
The fix adds a `*pos != 0` check to the existing early-return guard:
```c
- if (size >= sizeof(buf))
+ if (*pos != 0 || size >= sizeof(buf))
return -EINVAL;
```
This is the right approach. The function expects a single complete write containing a formatted string like `"%u %u %u %u"` — partial/resumed writes at a non-zero offset would never produce correct results even if the buffer were properly initialized, since the `sscanf` on line 461 needs the full string from the beginning.
The pattern of rejecting `*pos != 0` is well-established in the kernel for debugfs write handlers that parse a complete user-space string in one shot (e.g., `dvfs_mode_fops_write` and similar handlers throughout the tree).
One minor observation: `simple_write_to_buffer` returns the number of bytes actually written (not necessarily equal to `size`), and that return value is used on line 460 as `buf[ret] = '\0'`. With the `*pos != 0` check in place, `ret` will always reflect bytes written starting from offset 0, so this is now fully correct.
**No issues found.** Clean, minimal, well-targeted fix with a proper Fixes tag.
