Subject: ext4: use consistent ssize_t type in ext4_file_write()
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8563000d3bf3ccfccce335c092a7c43078be8ffd;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

ext4: use consistent ssize_t type in ext4_file_write()

The generic_file_aio_write() function returns ssize_t, and
ext4_file_write() returns a ssize_t, so use a ssize_t to collect the
return value from generic_file_aio_write().  It shouldn't matter since
the VFS read/write paths shouldn't allow a read greater than MAX_INT,
but there was previously a bug in the AIO code paths, and it's best if
we use a consistent type so that the return value from
generic_file_aio_write() can't get truncated.
