From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> When syncing out a block device (a'la __sync_blockdev), any error encountered will only be recorded in the bd_inode's mapping. When the blockdev contains a filesystem however, we'd like to also record the error in the super_block that's stored there. Make mark_buffer_write_io_error also record the error in the corresponding super_block when a writeback error occurs and the block device contains a mounted superblock. Since superblocks are RCU freed, hold the rcu_read_lock to ensure that the superblock doesn't go away while we're marking it.
