4.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Jeffery <djeffery@redhat.com>
commit c9eb256eda4420c06bb10f5e8fbdbe1a34bc98e0 upstream.
There is an issue with xfs's error reporting in some cases of I/O partially failing and partially succeeding. Calls like fsync() can report success even though not all I/O was successful in partial-failure cases such as one disk of a RAID0 array being offline.
The issue can occur when there are more than one bio per xfs_ioend struct. Each call to xfs_end_bio() for a bio completing will write a value to ioend->io_error. If a successful bio completes after any failed bio, no error is reported do to it writing 0 over the error code set by any failed bio. The I/O error information is now lost and when the ioend is completed only success is reported back up the filesystem stack.
xfs_end_bio() should only set ioend->io_error in the case of BIO_UPTODATE being clear. ioend->io_error is initialized to 0 at allocation so only needs to be updated by a failed bio. Also check that ioend->io_error is 0 so that the first error reported will be the error code returned.
