But if there is a data writeback error, should we report an error on all open fds at that time (like we will for fsync)? I think we probably do want to do that, but like you say...there is no file op for sync_file_range. It'll need some way to figure out what sort of error tracking is in play. > > JBD2: will try to re-set the error after clearing it with > > filemap_fdatawait.

I came up with a fix yesterday that makes the flag unnecessary there. Thanks, -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@...hat.com>
