The patch titled Subject: nilfs2: do not propagate ENOENT error from nilfs_sufile_mark_dirty() has been added to the -mm mm-nonmm-unstable branch. Its filename is nilfs2-do-not-propagate-enoent-error-from-nilfs_sufile_mark_dirty.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/nilfs2-do-not-propagate-enoent-error-from-nilfs_sufile_mark_dirty.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-nonmm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: nilfs2: do not propagate ENOENT error from nilfs_sufile_mark_dirty() Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2024 00:46:27 +0900 nilfs_sufile_mark_dirty(), which marks a block in the sufile metadata file as dirty in preparation for log writing, returns -ENOENT to the caller if the block containing the segment usage of the specified segment is missing. This internal code can propagate through the log writer to system calls such as fsync. To prevent this, treat this case as a filesystem error and return -EIO instead.
