Propagating the return value to the VFS is also a cleanup, although given that the VFS drops return value on the floor, I considered it a risk-free change and included it in the ext4 version of the patch. But yeah, I can see why separating could be argued to be the right thing. So that means we'll need two cleanup patches for ext3; one to fix the comment, and another to propagate the error code back to the VFS. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
