[PATCH] ext4: propagate errors from fast commit range replay
From: Guanghui Yang
Date: Wed Jul 08 2026 - 04:18:16 EST
ext4_fc_replay() stops replaying fast commit tags only when a tag
handler returns a negative error. However, ext4_fc_replay_add_range()
and ext4_fc_replay_del_range() currently return 0 from their common
exit paths even after internal failures.
This hides errors from ext4_fc_record_modified_inode(),
ext4_map_blocks(), ext4_find_extent(), ext4_ext_insert_extent(),
ext4_ext_replay_update_ex(), and ext4_ext_remove_space(). As a result,
a failed ADD_RANGE or DEL_RANGE replay can be treated as successful and
the replay code may continue with subsequent fast commit tags.
This is particularly problematic for DEL_RANGE because it may already
have marked blocks as free before ext4_ext_remove_space() fails. If the
error is swallowed, replay may continue from a partially applied range
operation.
Return the saved error from the common exit paths and make the
ERR_PTR() cases in ADD_RANGE store PTR_ERR() before jumping to out.
