Trond Myklebust 1b2021bdee nfsd: Don't reset the write verifier on a commit EAGAIN
If fsync() is returning EAGAIN, then we can assume that the filesystem
being exported is something like NFS with the 'softerr' mount option
enabled, and that it is just asking us to replay the fsync() operation
at a later date.

If we see an ESTALE, then ditto: the file is gone, so there is no danger
of losing the error.

For those cases, do not reset the write verifier. A write verifier
change has a global effect, causing retransmission by all clients of
all uncommitted unstable writes for all files, so it is worth
mitigating where possible.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
