So for filesystems that have metadata like this setting in bh->b_assoc_map doesn't really help and they have to check blockdevice's mapping anyway. OTOH if filesystem doesn't have such type of metadata relevant for fsync, this could help it. So maybe it is worth it. Honza

I noticed on xfs that I could still sometimes get back an error on fsync on a fd that was opened after the error condition had been cleared. The problem is that the buffer code sets the write_io_error flag and then later checks that flag to set the error in the mapping. That flag perisists for quite a while however. If the file is later opened with O_TRUNC, the buffers will then be invalidated and the mapping's error set such that a subsequent fsync will return error. I think this is incorrect, as there was no writeback between the open and fsync. Add a new mark_buffer_write_io_error operation that sets the flag and the error in the mapping at the same time. Replace all calls to set_buffer_write_io_error with mark_buffer_write_io_error, and remove the places that check this flag in order to set the error in the mapping. This sets the error in the mapping earlier, at the time that it's first detected.
