[PATCH v2 0/5] vfs: allow syncfs to return an error when inode writeback fails

2018-05-31 Thread Jeff Layton
From: Jeff Layton v2: don't modify sync_fs op prototype, handle errors at vfs layer The syncfs system call returns an int error code, but in general it does not return errors when an inode fails writeback. It will return an error if __sync_blockdev fails, but that's not useful on non-block
