Subject: [PATCH 02/10] fs: allow error returns from generic_update_time
Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2025 07:09:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251217061015.923954-3-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251217061015.923954-1-hch@lst.de>
Now that no caller looks at the updated flags, switch generic_update_time
to the same calling convention as the ->update_time method and return 0
or a negative errno.
This prepares for adding non-blocking timestamp updates that could return
-EAGAIN.
