I was thinking instead, for your series, you could do something like ret = cachefiles_inject_write_error(); if (ret) { /* Start kiocb so the error handling is done below. */ kiocb_start_write(&ki->iocb); } else { ret = vfs_iocb_iter_write(file, &ki->iocb, iter); } which seems a bit cleaner than messing with the flags everywhere. Thanks, Josef
