Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] xfs: Fix wrong return value of xfs_file_aio_write

(This time with with a proper signoff.)


The fsync prototype change commit 02c24a82187d accidentally overwrote
the ssize_t return value of xfs_file_aio_write with 0 for SYNC type
writes. Fix this by checking if an error occured when calling
xfs_file_fsync and only change the return value in this case.
In addition xfs_file_fsync actually returns a normal negative error, so
fix this, too.
