The commit 91562895f803 ("ext4: properly sync file size update after O_SYNC
direct IO") causes confusion about the meaning of the return value of
ext4_dio_write_end_io().

Specifically, when the ext4_handle_inode_extension() operation succeeds,
ext4_dio_write_end_io() directly returns count instead of 0.

This does not cause a bug in the current kernel, but the semantics of the
return value of the ext4_dio_write_end_io() function are wrong, which is
likely to introduce bugs in the future code evolution.

Why?

iomap_dio_complete can use the return value directly without any bug. And I think the code now seems more clearly...

  }
static const struct iomap_dio_ops ext4_dio_write_ops = {
