[PATCH] netfs: Fix writethrough-mode error handling

From: David Howells
Date: Wed Apr 17 2024 - 04:47:52 EST


Fix the error return in netfs_perform_write() acting in writethrough-mode
to return any cached error in the case that netfs_end_writethrough()
returns 0.

This can affect the use of O_SYNC/O_DSYNC/RWF_SYNC/RWF_DSYNC in 9p and afs.

Fixes: 41d8e7673a77 ("netfs: Implement a write-through caching option")
