From: majianpeng <majianpeng@xxxxxxxxx> commit ee7289bfadda5f4ef60884547ebc9989c8fb314a upstream. For sync_read/write, it may do multi stripe operations.If one of those met erro, we return the former successed size rather than a error value. There is a exception for write-operation met -EOLDSNAPC.If this occur,we retry the whole write again.
