    fs: fix lost error code in dio_complete · 41e817bc
    Maximilian Heyne authored
    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.
