Read errors are also sometimes tracked on a per-page level using PG_error. Suppose we have a read error on a page, and then that page is subsequently dirtied by overwriting the whole page. Writeback doesn't clear PG_error, so we can then end up successfully writing back that page and still return -EIO on fsync. Worse yet, PG_error is cleared during a sync() syscall, but the -EIO return from that is silently discarded. Any subsystem that is relying on PG_error to report errors during fsync can easily lose writeback errors due to this. All you need is a stray sync() call on the box at the wrong time and you've lost the error. Since the handling of the PG_error flag is somewhat inconsistent across subsystems, let's just rely on marking the address space when there are writeback errors. Change the TestClearPageError call to ClearPageError, and make __filemap_fdatawait_range a void return function.
