dm kcopyd: always complete failed jobs
This patch fixes a problem in dm-kcopyd that may leave jobs in complete queue indefinitely in the event of backing storage failure. This behavior has been observed while running 100% write file fio workload against an XFS volume created on top of a dm-zoned target device. If the underlying storage of dm-zoned goes to offline state under I/O, kcopyd sometimes never issues the end copy callback and dm-zoned reclaim work hangs indefinitely waiting for that completion. This behavior was traced down to the error handling code in process_jobs() function that places the failed job to complete_jobs queue, but doesn't wake up the job handler. In case of backing device failure, all outstanding jobs may end up going to complete_jobs queue via this code path and then stay there forever because there are no more successful I/O jobs to wake up the job handler. This patch adds a wake() call to always wake up kcopyd job wait queue for all I/O jobs that fail before dm_io() gets called for that job. The patch also sets the write error status in all sub jobs that are failed because their master job has failed.
