Since this function can get called only from fsync(2) or sync(2), this is actually as good as it can currently get since we correctly propagate the error up from dax_writeback_mapping_range() to filemap_fdatawrite(). However in the future better writeback error handling will enable us to properly report these errors on fsync(2) even if there are multiple file descriptors open against the file or if sync(2) gets called before fsync(2). So convert DAX to using standard error reporting through the mapping. After improving the changelog you can add: Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Honza > --- > fs/dax.c | 4 +++- > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/fs/dax.c b/fs/dax.c > index 85abd741253d..9b6b04030c3f 100644 > --- a/fs/dax.c > +++ b/fs/dax.c > @@ -901,8 +901,10 @@ int dax_writeback_mapping_range(struct address_space *mapping, > > ret = dax_writeback_one(bdev, mapping, indices[i], > pvec.pages[i]); > - if (ret < 0) > + if (ret < 0) { > + mapping_set_error(mapping, ret); > return ret; > + } > } > } > return 0; > -- > 2.9.3 > >

In order to get proper error codes from fsync, we must set an error in the mapping range when writeback fails. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> --- fs/dax.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
