Subject: ext4: check return value of blkdev_issue_flush()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a4a39040e9dacb5fa28b7ee7f842237ee534e7bf;p=linux-beck.git

ext4: check return value of blkdev_issue_flush()

blkdev_issue_flush() can fail; make sure the error gets properly
propagated.

This is a port of the equivalent ext3 patch from commit 44f4f729e7a1.
