From: Ross Zwisler <zwisler@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit aa0bfcd939c30617385ffa28682c062d78050eba upstream. In the spirit of filemap_fdatawait_range() and filemap_fdatawait_keep_errors(), introduce filemap_fdatawait_range_keep_errors() which both takes a range upon which to wait and does not clear errors from the address space.
