From: Junichi Nomura Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2015 02:47:23 +0000 (-0800) Subject: mm/filemap.c: make global sync not clear error status of individual inodes X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=aa750fd71c242dba02ee2034e15fbd7d0cdb2461;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git mm/filemap.c: make global sync not clear error status of individual inodes filemap_fdatawait() is a function to wait for on-going writeback to complete but also consume and clear error status of the mapping set during writeback. The latter functionality is critical for applications to detect writeback error with system calls like fsync(2)/fdatasync(2). However filemap_fdatawait() is also used by sync(2) or FIFREEZE ioctl, which don't check error status of individual mappings. As a result, fsync() may not be able to detect writeback error if events happen in the following order: Application System admin ---------------------------------------------------------- write data on page cache Run sync command writeback completes with error filemap_fdatawait() clears error fsync returns success (but the data is not on disk) This patch adds filemap_fdatawait_keep_errors() for call sites where writeback error is not handled so that they don't clear error status.
