In case of a block device error, written parameter in iomap_end()

Filesystems such as btrfs need to account for the I/O in ordered
extents, even if it resulted in an error. Having (incomplete)
submitted bytes in written gives the filesystem the amount of data
which has been submitted before the error occurred, and the
filesystem code can choose how to use it.
The final returned error for iomap_dio_rw() is set by
iomap_dio_complete().
Partial writes in direct I/O are considered an error. So,
->iomap_end() using written == 0 as error must be changed
to written < length. In this case, ext4 is the only user.

But if I am seeing this correctly, even after there was a dio->error
if you return copied > 0, then the loop in iomap_dio_rw will continue
for next iteration as well. Until the second time it won't copy
anything since dio->error is set and from there I guess it may return
0 which will break the loop.
Is this the correct flow? Shouldn't the while loop doing
iomap_apply in iomap_dio_rw should also break in case of
dio->error? Or did I miss anything?
