Before for this patch, function inode_go_sync ignored io errors during inode_go_sync, overwriting them with metadata write errors: error = filemap_fdatawait(mapping); mapping_set_error(mapping, error); } error = filemap_fdatawait(metamapping); ... return error; So any errors returned by the inode write would be forgotten if the metadata write succeeded. This patch still does both writes, but only sets error if it's still zero. That way, any errors will be reported by to the caller, do_xmote, which will take appropriate action and report the error.

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.
