A couple of minor cleanups below, but either way you could add:

(style) still prefer to wrap at 80 columns if possible.
(style) there isn't any benefit to "dirty_start" and "dirty_end" as locals
(style) there also isn't any benefit to "ret = ...; return ret"

I thought it might be coded this way because the function is changed in a
later patch in the series, but I couldn't find anything like that, so the
shorter form is just as readable, IMHO:

int jbd2_journal_finish_inode_data_buffers(struct jbd2_inode *jinode)
{
	struct address_space *mapping = jinode->i_vfs_inode->i_mapping;

	return filemap_fdatawait_range_keep_errors(mapping,
						   jinode->dirty_start,
						   jinode->dirty_end);
}

Cheers, Andreas
