Message-Id: <200903291931.03775.bzolnier@gmail.com>
Date:	Sun, 29 Mar 2009 19:31:03 +0200
From:	Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@...il.com>

Subject: [PATCH] xfs: fix blkdev_issue_flush() failure handling

blkdev_issue_flush() may fail (i.e. due to media error on FLUSH CACHE
command execution) so its users should check for the return value.
