commit e2592217 ("fs: simplify the generic_write_sync prototype") reworked callers of generic_write_sync(), and ended up dropping the error return for the directio path. Prior to that commit, in dio_complete(), an error would be bubbled up the stack, but after that commit, errors passed on to dio_complete were eaten up. This was reported on the list earlier, and a fix was proposed in https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20160921141539.GA17898@infradead.org/, but never followed up with. We recently hit this bug in our testing where fencing io errors, which were previously erroring out with EIO, were being returned as success operations after this commit. The fix proposed on the list earlier was a little short -- it would have still called generic_write_sync() in case `ret` already contained an error. This fix ensures generic_write_sync() is only called when there's no pending error in the write. Additionally, transferred is replaced with ret to bring this code in line with other callers.
