[PATCH v6 RESEND 0/2] vfs: have syncfs() return error when there are writeback errors

[Jeff Layton]

Just a resend since this hasn't been picked up yet. No real changes
from the last set (other than adding Jan's Reviewed-bys). Latest
cover letter follows:

--------------------------8<----------------------------

v6:
- use READ_ONCE to ensure that compiler doesn't optimize away local var

The only difference from v5 is the change to use READ_ONCE to fetch the
bd_super pointer, to ensure that the compiler doesn't refetch it
afterward. Many thanks to Jan K. for the explanation!

Jeff Layton (2):
  vfs: track per-sb writeback errors and report them to syncfs
  buffer: record blockdev write errors in super_block that it backs
