The very least we can do is to return a sensible error code from msync().
At present, if you create a 200 meg mapping on a 100 meg disk, dirty it
all and run msync(MS_SYNC), the damn thing returns zero and you don't
know that you lost half your data.
The patch makes filemap_fdatasync() and filemap_fdatawait() return
an error code, and propagates that up through all callers, including
fsync() and fdatasync(). Please review, especially the nfs and
generic_file_direct_IO() changes.
There's also a half-assed attempt to implement MS_ASYNC in here.
If anyone thinks that's not worth the effort, I won't be offended.
