Subject: [PATCH v2 12/14] netfs: Fix writeback error handling
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 12:57:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260624115737.2964520-13-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260624115737.2964520-1-dhowells@redhat.com>
Fix the error handling in writeback_iter() loop. If an error occurs,
writeback_iter() needs to be called again with *error set to the error so
that it can clean up iteration state. Further, the current folio needs
unlocking and redirtying.
Fixes: 288ace2f57c9 ("netfs: New writeback implementation")
