Subject: [PATCH] fix fsync(dir) return value for ram-based filesystems
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8ae0b77811d97552b3b3c745e97de18849583bf7;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

[PATCH] fix fsync(dir) return value for ram-based filesystems

Any filesystem which is using simple_dir_operations will retunr -EINVAL for
fsync() on a directory.  Make it return zero instead.
