From e259221763a40403d5bb232209998e8c45804ab8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2016 08:52:01 -0700 Subject: fs: simplify the generic_write_sync prototype The kiocb already has the new position, so use that. The only interesting case is AIO, where we currently don't bother updating ki_pos. We're about to free the kiocb after we're done, so we might as well update it to make everyone's life simpler. While we're at it also return the bytes written argument passed in if we were successful so that the boilerplate error switch code in the callers can go away.
