Liu Bo ebb70442cd Btrfs: fix list_add corruption and soft lockups in fsync
Xfstests btrfs/146 revealed this corruption,

It turns out that we could record btrfs_log_ctx:io_err in
log_one_extents when IO fails, but make log_one_extents() return '0'
instead of -EIO, so the IO error is not acknowledged by the callers,
i.e.  btrfs_log_inode_parent(), which would remove btrfs_log_ctx:list
from list head 'root->log_ctxs'.  Since btrfs_log_ctx is allocated
from stack memory, it'd get freed with a object alive on the
list. then a future list_add will throw the above warning.

This returns the correct error in the above case.

Jeff also reported this while testing against his fsync error
patch set[1].

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
