I prefer assigning ctx conditionally to propagating the knowledge
that !rac means synchronous. I've gone with this:

static void iomap_read_page_end_io(struct bio_vec *bvec,
- struct completion *done, bool error)
+ struct iomap_readpage_ctx *ctx, blk_status_t status)
{
struct page *page = bvec->bv_page;
struct iomap_page *iop = to_iomap_page(page);

- if (!error)
+ if (status == BLK_STS_OK) {
iomap_set_range_uptodate(page, bvec->bv_offset, bvec->bv_len);
+ } else if (ctx && ctx->status == BLK_STS_OK) {
+ ctx->status = status;
+ }

if (!iop ||
atomic_sub_and_test(bvec->bv_len, &iop->read_bytes_pending)) {
- if (done)
- complete(done);
+ if (ctx)
+ complete(&ctx->done);
else
unlock_page(page);
}

I think we can go a little further here:

@@ -340,16 +335,12 @@ iomap_readpage(struct page *page, const struct iomap_ops *
ops)

if (ctx.bio) {
submit_bio(ctx.bio);
- WARN_ON_ONCE(!ctx.cur_page_in_bio);
- } else {
- WARN_ON_ONCE(ctx.cur_page_in_bio);
- complete(&ctx.done);
+ wait_for_completion(&ctx.done);
+ if (ret > 0)
+ ret = blk_status_to_errno(ctx.status);
}

- wait_for_completion(&ctx.done);
if (ret >= 0)
- ret = blk_status_to_errno(ctx.status);
- if (ret == 0)
return AOP_UPDATED_PAGE;
unlock_page(page);
return ret;


... there's no need to call blk_status_to_errno if we never submitted a bio.
