mainlining shenanigans
adbd914dcd
On a zoned filesystem, sometimes we need to split an ordered extent into 3
different ordered extents. The original ordered extent is shortened, at
the front and at the rear, and we create two other new ordered extents to
represent the trimmed parts of the original ordered extent.
After adjusting the original ordered extent, we create an ordered extent
to represent the pre-range, and that may fail with ENOMEM for example.
After that we always try to create the ordered extent for the post-range,
and if that happens to succeed we end up returning success to the caller
as we overwrite the 'ret' variable which contained the previous error.
This means we end up with a file range for which there is no ordered
extent, which results in the range never getting a new file extent item
pointing to the new data location. And since the split operation did
not return an error, writeback does not fail and the inode's mapping is
not flagged with an error, resulting in a subsequent fsync not reporting
an error either.
It's possibly very unlikely to have the creation of the post-range ordered
extent succeed after the creation of the pre-range ordered extent failed,
but it's not impossible.
So fix this by making sure we only create the post-range ordered extent
if there was no error creating the ordered extent for the pre-range.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
