[PATCH v3 1/2] xfs: fix error returns in CoW fork repair
From: Yingjie Gao
Date: Wed May 27 2026 - 00:32:19 EST
xrep_cow_find_bad() returns success after the cleanup labels even if
AG setup, btree queries, or bitmap updates failed. This can make
repair continue with an incomplete bad-file-offset bitmap instead of
stopping at the original error.
The force-rebuild path has a related cleanup problem. If
xrep_cow_mark_file_range() fails, the function returns directly and
skips the scrub AG context and perag cleanup.
Let the force-rebuild path fall through to the existing cleanup code
and return the saved error after cleanup.
Fixes: dbbdbd008632 ("xfs: repair problems in CoW forks")
