Jeff Layton 735e4ae5ba vfs: track per-sb writeback errors and report them to syncfs
Patch series "vfs: have syncfs() return error when there are writeback
errors", v6.

Currently, syncfs does not return errors when one of the inodes fails to
be written back.  It will return errors based on the legacy AS_EIO and
AS_ENOSPC flags when syncing out the block device fails, but that's not
particularly helpful for filesystems that aren't backed by a blockdev.
It's also possible for a stray sync to lose those errors.

The basic idea in this set is to track writeback errors at the
superblock level, so that we can quickly and easily check whether
something bad happened without having to fsync each file individually.
syncfs is then changed to reliably report writeback errors after they
occur, much in the same fashion as fsync does now.

This patch (of 2):

Usually we suggest that applications call fsync when they want to ensure
that all data written to the file has made it to the backing store, but
that can be inefficient when there are a lot of open files.

Calling syncfs on the filesystem can be more efficient in some
situations, but the error reporting doesn't currently work the way most
people expect.  If a single inode on a filesystem reports a writeback
error, syncfs won't necessarily return an error.  syncfs only returns an
error if __sync_blockdev fails, and on some filesystems that's a no-op.

It would be better if syncfs reported an error if there were any
writeback failures.  Then applications could call syncfs to see if there
are any errors on any open files, and could then call fsync on all of
the other descriptors to figure out which one failed.

This patch adds a new errseq_t to struct super_block, and has
mapping_set_error also record writeback errors there.

To report those errors, we also need to keep an errseq_t in struct file
to act as a cursor.  This patch adds a dedicated field for that purpose,
which slots nicely into 4 bytes of padding at the end of struct file on
x86_64.

An earlier version of this patch used an O_PATH file descriptor to cue
the kernel that the open file should track the superblock error and not
the inode's writeback error.

I think that API is just too weird though.  This is simpler and should
make syncfs error reporting "just work" even if someone is multiplexing
fsync and syncfs on the same fds.

* The flag bits are:

*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: initiate writeout of all those dirty pages in the

*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER: wait upon writeout of all pages in the range

*
* Useful combinations of the flag bits are:
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: ensures that all pages
* in the range which were dirty on entry to ksys_sync_file_range() are placed
* under writeout. This is a start-write-for-data-integrity operation.
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: start writeout of all dirty pages in the range which
* are not presently under writeout. This is an asynchronous flush-to-disk
* operation. Not suitable for data integrity operations.
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE (or SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER): wait for
* completion of writeout of all pages in the range. This will be used after an
* earlier SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE operation to wait
* for that operation to complete and to return the result.
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER
* (a.k.a. SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE_AND_WAIT):
* a traditional sync() operation. This is a write-for-data-integrity operation
* which will ensure that all pages in the range which were dirty on entry to
* ksys_sync_file_range() are written to disk. It should be noted that disk
* caches are not flushed by this call, so there are no guarantees here that the

*
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE and SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER will detect any

* clearing the EIO and ENOSPC flags in the address_space.
*
* It should be noted that none of these operations write out the file's
* metadata. So unless the application is strictly performing overwrites of
