Subject: [PATCH v2 3/9] mm: clear any AS_* errors when returning error on any fsync or close
Date: Wed,  8 Mar 2017 11:29:28 -0500
Message-Id: <20170308162934.21989-4-jlayton@redhat.com>

Currently we don't clear the address space error when there is a -EIO
error on fsynci, due to writeback initiation failure. If writes fail
with -EIO and the mapping is flagged with an AS_EIO or AS_ENOSPC error,
then we can end up returning errors on two fsync calls, even when a
write between them succeeded (or there was no write).

Ensure that we also clear out any mapping errors when initiating
writeback fails with -EIO in filemap_write_and_wait and
filemap_write_and_wait_range.
