From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Wu Fengguang Subject: [PATCH] NFS: return -EAGAIN when skipped commit in nfs_commit_unstable_pages() Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2011 22:04:59 +0800 Message-ID: <20110610140459.GA8021@localhost> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cc: Christoph Hellwig , linux-nfs@vger.kernel.org, linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org, LKML To: Trond Myklebust Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-fsdevel.vger.kernel.org It's confusing to return success while redirtying the inode at the same time in ->write_inode(). Return -EAGAIN to indicate that we've not finished with this inode. Impact: it's a cleanup, not bug fix.
