[PATCH v4 24/27][RFC] nfs: convert to new errseq_t based error tracking for writeback errors

From: Jeff Layton
Date: Tue May 09 2017 - 11:51:54 EST


Drop the ERROR_WRITE flag and convert the error field in the context to
a errseq_t. Add a new wb_err_cursor to track the reporting of the
errseq_t. In principle, we could use the f_wb_err field in struct file
for that, but that's problematic with the stock reporting in call_fsync.

I did this on a lark to see how it would be, but I don't think this is
really better than what's there already. There may be a better way to
provide the right semantics without using an errseq_t here.
