The quilt patch titled Subject: nilfs2: do not propagate ENOENT error from nilfs_sufile_mark_dirty() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was nilfs2-do-not-propagate-enoent-error-from-nilfs_sufile_mark_dirty.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ 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.
