From: "Darrick J. Wong" <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 5679897eb104cec9e99609c3f045a0c20603da4c upstream. [backport to 5.10 only differs in __sync_blockdev helper] Strangely, sync_filesystem ignores the return code from the ->sync_fs call, which means that syscalls like syncfs(2) never see the error. This doesn't seem right, so fix that. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
