From 8ed1e46aaf1bec6a12f4c89637f2c3ef4c70f18e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Layton Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2017 07:02:26 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] mm: set both AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC and errseq_t in mapping_set_error When a writeback error occurs, we want later callers to be able to pick up that fact when they go to wait on that writeback to complete. Traditionally, we've used AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC flags to track that, but that's problematic since only one "checker" will be informed when an error occurs. In later patches, we're going to want to convert many of these callers to check for errors since a well-defined point in time. For now, ensure that we can handle both sorts of checks by both setting errors in both places when there is a writeback failure.
