Subject: [PATCH] libext2fs: return errno on failure in ext2fs_sync_device()
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2016 00:29:01 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1452443341-1851-1-git-send-email-guaneryu@gmail.com> (raw)

ext2fs_sync_device() returns -1 on ioctl error, which is the return
value from ioctl, but the callers expect the return value to be an errno
on failure.

Seen this while flushing in e2fsck on a file:

[root@localhost e2fsprogs]# e2fsck -Ff ~/ext4.img
ext2fs_sync_device: Unknown code ____ 255 while trying to flush /root/ext4.img

After fixing, correct error message is printed:

[root@localhost e2fsprogs]# e2fsck -Ff ~/ext4.img
ext2fs_sync_device: Inappropriate ioctl for device while trying to flush /root/ext4.img
