Subject: [PATCH v2] fs: inode: return proper error code in bmap()
Date:   Sat, 15 Jul 2023 17:22:04 +0900
Message-Id: <20230715082204.1598206-1-lsahn@wewakecorp.com>

Return -EOPNOTSUPP instead of -EINVAL which has the meaning of
the argument is an inappropriate value. The current error code doesn't
make sense to represent that a file system doesn't support bmap operation.

Changes since v1:
- Modify the comments of bmap()
- Modify subject and description requested by Markus Elfring
