The test case generic/362 will fail with "nodatasum" mount option (*):

*: If the test case has been executed before with default data checksum,
the failure will not reproduce. Need the following fix to make it
reliably reproducible:

[CAUSE]
Inside __iomap_dio_rw(), the -EFAULT/-ENOTBLK error is not directly returned.
Thus we never got an error pointer from __iomap_dio_rw().
The call chain looks like this:
btrfs_direct_write()
|- btrfs_dio_write()
|- __iomap_dio_rw()
| |- iomap_iter()
| | |- btrfs_dio_iomap_begin()
| | Now an ordered extent is allocated for the 4K write.
| |
| |- iomi.status = iomap_dio_iter()
| | Where iomap_dio_iter() returned -EFAULT.
| |
| |- ret = iomap_iter()
| | |- btrfs_dio_iomap_end()
| | | |- btrfs_finish_ordered_extent(uptodate = false)
| | | | |- can_finish_ordered_extent()
| | | | |- btrfs_mark_ordered_extent_error()
| | | | |- mapping_set_error()
| | | | Now the address space is marked error.
| | | | return -ENOTBLK
| | |- return -ENOTBLK
| |- if (ret == -ENOTBLK) { ret = 0; }
| Now the return value is reset to 0.
| Thus no error pointer will be returned.
|
|- ret = iomap_dio_complete()
| Since no byte is submitted, @ret is 0.
|
|- Fallback to buffered IO
| And the buffered write finished without error
|
|- filemap_fdatawait_range()
|- filemap_check_errors()
The previous error is recorded, thus an error is returned
However the buffered write is properly submitted and finished, the error
is from the btrfs_finish_ordered_extent() call with @uptodate = false.
[FIX]
When a short dio write happened, any range that is submitted will have
btrfs_extract_ordered_extent() to be called, thus the submitted range
will always have an OE just covering the submitted range.
The remaining OE range is never submitted, thus they should be treated
as truncated, not an error. So that we can properly reclaim and not
insert an unnecessary file extent item, without marking the mapping as
error.
Extract a helper, btrfs_mark_ordered_extent_truncated(), and utilize
that helper to mark the direct IO ordered extent as truncated, so it
won't cause failure for the later buffered fallback.
[REASON FOR NO FIXES TAG]
The bug itself is pretty old, at commit f85781fb50 ("btrfs: switch to
iomap for direct IO") we're already passing @uptodate=false finishing
the OE.
But at that time OE with IOERR won't call mapping_set_error(), so it's
not exposed.
Later commit d61bec08b9 ("btrfs: mark ordered extent and inode with
error if we fail to finish") finally exposed the bug, but that commit
is doing a correct job, not the root cause.
Anyway the bug is very old, dating back to 5.1x days, thus only CC to
stable.
