Handling of the done_offset to cow_file_range is a bit confusing, as it is not updated at all when the function succeeds, and the -EAGAIN status is used bother for the case where we need to wait for a zone finish and the one where the allocation was partially successful. Change the calling convention so that done_offset is always updated, and 0 is returned if some allocation was successful (partial allocation can still only happen for zoned devices), and waiting for a zone finish is done internally in cow_file_range instead of the caller. Also write a comment explaining the logic. Reviewed-by: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
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.
