write_cache_pages always clear the page dirty bit before calling into the
file systems, and leaves folios with a writeback failure without the
dirty bit after return. We also clear the per-block writeback bits for
writeback failures unless no I/O has submitted, which will leave the
folio in an inconsistent state where it doesn't have the folio dirty,
but one or more per-block dirty bits. This seems to be due the place
where the iomap_clear_range_dirty call was inserted into the existing
not very clearly structured code when adding per-block dirty bit support
and not actually intentional. Switch to always clearing the dirty on
writeback failure.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
