Subject: [PATCH] set_page_dirty() return value fixes
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.17-rc1~902
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4741c9fd36b3bcadd37238321c469049da94a4b9;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[PATCH] set_page_dirty() return value fixes

We need set_page_dirty() to return true if it actually transitioned the page
from a clean to dirty state.  This wasn't right in a couple of places.  Do a
kernel-wide audit, fix things up.

This leaves open the possibility of returning a negative errno from
set_page_dirty() sometime in the future.  But we don't do that at present.
