From 4741c9fd36b3bcadd37238321c469049da94a4b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2006 03:18:11 -0800 Subject: [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.
