commit 5679897eb104cec9e99609c3f045a0c20603da4c upstream. [backport to 5.10 only differs in __sync_blockdev helper] Strangely, sync_filesystem ignores the return code from the ->sync_fs call, which means that syscalls like syncfs(2) never see the error. This doesn't seem right, so fix that. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

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.
