Subject: [RFC 2/3] fs/buffer: Drop useless return value of submit_bh
Date:   Mon, 20 Jun 2022 11:28:41 +0530
Message-Id: <77274d2a2030f6ee06901496f9c5fbe8779127a3.1655703467.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com>

submit_bh always returns 0. This patch drops the useless return value of
submit_bh from __sync_dirty_buffer(). Once all of submit_bh callers are
cleaned up, we can make it's return type as void.
