[PATCH] fs: convert sync_file_range to use errseq_t based error-tracking

From: Jeff Layton
Date: Wed Jul 19 2017 - 13:37:14 EST


From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx>

sync_file_range doesn't call down into the filesystem directly at all.
It only kicks off writeback of pagecache pages and optionally waits
on the result.

Convert sync_file_range to use errseq_t based error tracking, under the
assumption that most users will prefer this behavior when errors occur.
