[PATCH 09/19] omfs: check for an inode write error with buffer_write_io_error()
From: Chao Shi
Date: Sat Aug 01 2026 - 18:04:17 EST
__omfs_write_inode() spots a failed synchronous write, on both the primary
block and each mirror, by testing BH_Req together with !BH_Uptodate. That
relies on the write completion handler clearing BH_Uptodate on error, which
this series removes: a buffer whose write failed still holds the data the
filesystem asked to be written, so declaring it not up to date is wrong and
makes callers re-read it.
BH_Write_EIO says exactly what this code wants to know, and it implies
BH_Req, so each pair collapses into one test.
No behaviour change today - a failed write sets BH_Write_EIO and clears
BH_Uptodate together. It stops being a no-op at the end of the series,
where the new test is the one that still works.
