I'd think we'd want to flush the AIL then report > the error, like this: > I wondered about that. Note that earlier in the function, we also bail out without flushing the AIL if sync_inode_metadata fails, so I assumed that we'd want to do the same here. I could definitely be wrong and am fine with changing it if so. Discarding the error like we do today seems wrong though.
