Pull writeback error handling updates from Jeff Layton: "This pile continues the work from last cycle on better tracking writeback errors. In v4.13 we added some basic errseq_t infrastructure and converted a few filesystems to use it. This set continues refining that infrastructure, adds documentation, and converts most of the other filesystems to use it. The main exception at this point is the NFS client" * tag 'wberr-v4.14-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlayton/linux: ecryptfs: convert to file_write_and_wait in ->fsync mm: remove optimizations based on i_size in mapping writeback waits fs: convert a pile of fsync routines to errseq_t based reporting gfs2: convert to errseq_t based writeback error reporting for fsync fs: convert sync_file_range to use errseq_t based error-tracking mm: add file_fdatawait_range and file_write_and_wait fuse: convert to errseq_t based error tracking for fsync mm: consolidate dax / non-dax checks for writeback Documentation: add some docs for errseq_t errseq: rename __errseq_set to errseq_set
