From 41e817bca3acd3980efe5dd7d28af0e6f4ab9247 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maximilian Heyne Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2018 08:35:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fs: fix lost error code in dio_complete commit e259221763a40403d5bb232209998e8c45804ab8 ("fs: simplify the generic_write_sync prototype") reworked callers of generic_write_sync(), and ended up dropping the error return for the directio path. Prior to that commit, in dio_complete(), an error would be bubbled up the stack, but after that commit, errors passed on to dio_complete were eaten up. This was reported on the list earlier, and a fix was proposed in https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20160921141539.GA17898@infradead.org/, but never followed up with. We recently hit this bug in our testing where fencing io errors, which were previously erroring out with EIO, were being returned as success operations after this commit. The fix proposed on the list earlier was a little short -- it would have still called generic_write_sync() in case `ret` already contained an error. This fix ensures generic_write_sync() is only called when there's no pending error in the write. Additionally, transferred is replaced with ret to bring this code in line with other callers.
