When we handle an error by redirtying the page, we're not corrupting the
mapping, so we don't want the error to be recorded in the mapping.
If the caller has specified a sync_mode of WB_SYNC_NONE, we can just
return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE. However if we're dealing with
WB_SYNC_ALL, we need to ensure that retries happen when the errors are
non-fatal.

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.
