Subject: [BUG] Possible silent data corruption in filesystems/page cache

Hi

We run data validation test for buffered workload on filesystems:
ext3, ext4, and XFS.
In context of flushing page cache block device driver returned IO error.
After dropping page cache our validation tool reported data corruption.

We provided a simple patch in order to inject IO error in device mapper.
We run test to verify md5sum of file during IO error.
Test shows checksum mismatch.
