This patch add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait) and use it.
See mm/filemap.c:
And changes the filemap_write_and_wait() and filemap_write_and_wait_range().
Current filemap_write_and_wait() doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite()
returns error. However, even if filemap_fdatawrite() returned an
error, it may have submitted the partially data pages to the device.
(e.g. in the case of -ENOSPC)

Andrew Morton writes,
If filemap_fdatawrite() returns an error, this might be due to some
I/O problem: dead disk, unplugged cable, etc. Given the generally
crappy quality of the kernel's handling of such exceptions, there's a
good chance that the filemap_fdatawait() will get stuck in D state
forever.
</quotation>
So, this patch doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite() returns the -EIO.
Trond, could you please review the nfs part? Especially I'm not sure,
nfs must use the "filemap_fdatawrite(inode->i_mapping) == 0", or not.

disabled. Also set mode, uid, gid better on mkdir and create for the
case when Unix Extensions is not enabled and setuids is enabled. This is
necessary to fix the hole in which chown could be allowed for non-root
users in some cases if root mounted, and also to display the mode and uid
properly in some cases.

fix cifs negative dentries so they are freed faster (not requiring
umount or readdir e.g.) so the client recognizes the new file on
the server more quickly.

Fix the case in which readdir reset file type when SFU mount option
specified.
Also fix sfu related functions to not request EAs (xattrs) when not

This argument was added in a recent patch, but is unnecessary, since
the superblock is easily obtained from the dentry.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
