commit b4678df184b314a2bd47d2329feca2c2534aa12b upstream. The errseq_t infrastructure assumes that errors which occurred before the file descriptor was opened are of no interest to the application. This turns out to be a regression for some applications, notably Postgres. Before errseq_t, a writeback error would be reported exactly once (as long as the inode remained in memory), so Postgres could open a file, call fsync() and find out whether there had been a writeback error on that file from another process. This patch changes the errseq infrastructure to report errors to all file descriptors which are opened after the error occurred, but before it was reported to any file descriptor. This restores the user-visible behaviour.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
