Subject: fs: convert __generic_file_fsync to use errseq_t based reporting
X-Git-Tag: v4.13-rc1~101^2~3
X-Git-Url: https://asedeno.scripts.mit.edu/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=383aa543c2f46f245d652c0e5c77390f07ece657;p=linux.git

fs: convert __generic_file_fsync to use errseq_t based reporting

Many simple, block-based filesystems use generic_file_fsync as their
fsync operation. Some others (ext* and fat) also call this function
to handle syncing out data.

Switch this code over to use errseq_t based error reporting so that
all of these filesystems get reliable error reporting via fsync,
fdatasync and msync.
