Where did this come from? XFS doesn't use the underlying blockdev
address space, so this does nothing at all and should not be here.

So to return errors correctly, xfs_fs_sync_fs() needs to capture
errors from the log force (i.e. metadata errors such as filesystem
shutdowns, journal IO errors, etc), then check for pending data IO
errors. i.e:


STATIC int
xfs_fs_sync_fs(
struct super_block *sb,
int wait)
{
struct xfs_mount *mp = XFS_M(sb);
+ int err;

/*
* Doing anything during the async pass would be counterproductive.
*/
if (!wait)
return 0;

- xfs_log_force(mp, XFS_LOG_SYNC);
+ err = xfs_log_force(mp, XFS_LOG_SYNC);
+ if (err)
+ return err;
+
if (laptop_mode) {
/*
* The disk must be active because we're syncing.
* We schedule log work now (now that the disk is
* active) instead of later (when it might not be).
*/
flush_delayed_work(&mp->m_log->l_work);
}

- return 0
+ return errseq_check_and_advance(&sb->s_wb_err, since);
}

Cheers,

Dave.
