[PATCH v6 18/20] ext4: use errseq_t based error handling for reporting data writeback errors

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add the FS_WB_ERRSEQ flag to indicate to other subsystems that errseq_t
based error reporting for data writeback is in effect, and to opt-in to
reporting those errors in call_fsync.

ext4 uses the blockdev mapping for tracking metadata stored in the
pagecache. Sample its wb_err when opening a file and store that in
the f_md_wb_err field. Ensure that we check and advance the metadata
before returning in fsync.

Note that because metadata writeback errors are only tracked on a
per-device level, this does mean that we'll end up reporting an error on
all open file descriptors on this fs when there is a metadata writeback
failure.  That's not ideal, but we can possibly improve upon it in the
future.

ext4 also has several calls to filemap_fdatawait and
filemap_write_and_wait. Those will also be changed in a later patch to
versions that use errseq_t based reporting.
