Why isn't this considered a bug with filemap_sample_wb_err()? If what you say is true, then do_dentry_open() could be picking up existing errors from the filesystem and from the inode and propagating them to random processes. It basically means everyone who cares about correctness of the error return values needs to do a fsync() immediately after open() in order to sync up the value in file->f_wb_err.
filemap_sample_wb_err() -> errseq_sample() initialise errseq_t variable `since`, the caller of this function will checks for an error using filemap_check_wb_err(since) -> errseq_check(). filemap_sample_wb_err's purpose is just sampling consumed (seen) writeback error to initialise errseq_t variable. I understand that filemap_sample_wb_err()/filemap_check_wb_err() cannot detect the new error between filemap_sample_wb_err() and filemap_check_wb_err(). It would be better using file->f_mapping->wb_err instead of filemap_sample_wb_err() in nfs_file_write() to sample wb_err at that time point. In do_dentry_open(), we just sample consumed(seen) writeback error. It is necessary to consume the writeback error before close() over. There is some cases that writeback error have not been consumed(seen) after close() file over, I think it is unexpected behavior, is this a bug? It is worth noting that fsync() will not be called after close() in nfs. 在 2022/3/6 1:12, Trond Myklebust 写道: > Hmm... Why isn't this considered a bug with filemap_sample_wb_err()?

If nobody has seen the writeback error yet, then filemap_sample_wb_err() always return 0. Even if there is no new writeback error between filemap_sample_wb_err() and filemap_check_wb_err(), filemap_check_wb_err() will return the old error. Fix this by using file->f_mapping->wb_err as the old error.
