From d19e0183a88306acda07f4a01fedeeffe2a2a06b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2022 18:05:18 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Do not report writeback errors in nfs_getattr()

The result of the writeback, whether it is an ENOSPC or an EIO, or anything else, does not inhibit the NFS client from reporting the correct file timestamps.
