[PATCH v2] f2fs: stop checkpoint on compressed write IO error

From: Wenjie Qi

Date: Mon Aug 03 2026 - 04:00:17 EST


Compressed writeback is currently charged as F2FS_WB_CP_DATA through
WB_DATA_TYPE(..., fio->compressed_page). That classification keeps
compressed cluster writeback under the checkpoint-guaranteed path for
POR safety after fsync/sync.

When such a compressed write bio fails,
f2fs_compress_write_end_io() only records -EIO in the inode mapping.
Ordinary F2FS_WB_CP_DATA writeback also stops checkpoint on writeback
failure, but compressed writeback does not. Checkpoint can therefore
continue after a failed checkpoint-guaranteed compressed write and later
persist metadata that points to compressed data blocks whose writeback
failed.

Stop checkpoint on failed compressed write IO the same way as other
F2FS_WB_CP_DATA writeback.
