Technically this will be an API change if it get's MFC'd, though a
minor one. If it needs to go into RELENG_6 then it should be
clearly documented in the release notes.
Not really because except for the hwpmc(4) driver and the mqueue code (which
isn't in 6.x yet IIRC), every other caller of fget_write() ignores the errno
value and hardcodes EBADF, so it won't actually change the errno for any
applications in 6.x.
While it may not be used by much in the FreeBSD tree, the fact that
fget_write() is available via a kernel header means that it is part
of the kernel API. It is trivial, so all I ask is that it be well
documented when it gets MFC'd. Something along the lines of:
- fget_write() was changed to provide return values as per POSIX.
