Brian Foster 3fa750dcf2 mm/page-writeback.c: don't break integrity writeback on ->writepage() error 
write_cache_pages() is used in both background and integrity writeback
scenarios by various filesystems.  Background writeback is mostly
concerned with cleaning a certain number of dirty pages based on various
mm heuristics.  It may not write the full set of dirty pages or wait for
I/O to complete.  Integrity writeback is responsible for persisting a set
of dirty pages before the writeback job completes.  For example, an
fsync() call must perform integrity writeback to ensure data is on disk
before the call returns.

write_cache_pages() unconditionally breaks out of its processing loop in
the event of a ->writepage() error.  This is fine for background
writeback, which had no strict requirements and will eventually come
around again.  This can cause problems for integrity writeback on
filesystems that might need to clean up state associated with failed page
writeouts.  For example, XFS performs internal delayed allocation
accounting before returning a ->writepage() error, where applicable.  If
the current writeback happens to be associated with an unmount and
write_cache_pages() completes the writeback prematurely due to error, the
filesystem is unmounted in an inconsistent state if dirty+delalloc pages
still exist.

To handle this problem, update write_cache_pages() to always process the
full set of pages for integrity writeback regardless of ->writepage()
errors.  Save the first encountered error and return it to the caller once
complete.  This facilitates XFS (or any other fs that expects integrity
writeback to process the entire set of dirty pages) to clean up its
internal state completely in the event of persistent mapping errors.
Background writeback continues to exit on the first error encountered.
