Well, no...we'll keep the error from start_ordered_ops if there was one. We just advance the cursor past any stored error in that case without returning it. I have another fix for this patch too: there's a call to filemap_check_errors in this function that I think should probably use filemap_check_wb_err instead. Fixed in my tree. I do agree though that while this works in my testing I'd like the btrfs guys to ACK this as I don't fully grok the btrfs fsync code at all. -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
