Subject: [PATCH 17/18] vfs: allow fsinfo to fetch the current state of
 s_wb_err [ver #21]

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@...nel.org>

Add a new "error_state" struct to fsinfo, and teach the kernel to fill
that out from sb->s_wb_err. There are two fields:

wb_error_last: the most recently recorded errno for the filesystem

wb_error_cookie: this value will change vs. the previously fetched
                 value if a new error was recorded since it was last
		 checked. Callers should treat this as an opaque value
		 that can be compared to earlier fetched values.
