Subject: [PATCH 11/16] fs: allow error returns from inode_update_timestamps
Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2025 07:47:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251120064859.2911749-12-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251120064859.2911749-1-hch@lst.de>
Change flags to a by reference argument so that it can be updated so that
the return value can be used for error returns. This will be used to
implement non-blocking timestamp updates.
Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
