There is a risk of filesystem inconsistency if we failed to async write back metadata buffer in the background. Because of current buffer's end io procedure is handled by end_buffer_async_write() in the block layer, and it only clear the buffer's uptodate flag and mark the write_io_error flag, so ext4 cannot detect such failure immediately. In most cases of getting metadata buffer (e.g. ext4_read_inode_bitmap()), although the buffer's data is actually uptodate, it may still read data from disk because the buffer's uptodate flag has been cleared. Finally, it may lead to on-disk filesystem inconsistency if reading old data from the disk successfully and write them out again. This patch detect bdev mapping->wb_err when getting journal's write access and mark the filesystem error if bdev's mapping->wb_err was increased, this could prevent further writing and potential inconsistency.

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.
