By now, bmap() will either return the physical block number related to the requested file offset or 0 in case of error or the requested offset maps into a hole. This patch makes the needed changes to enable bmap() to proper return errors, using the return value as an error return, and now, a pointer must be passed to bmap() to be filled with the mapped physical block. It will change the behavior of bmap() on return: - negative value in case of error - zero on success or map fell into a hole In case of a hole, the *block will be zero too Since this is a prep patch, by now, the only error return is -EINVAL if ->bmap doesn't exist.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
