Subject: [PATCH 10/19] exfat: check for a directory write error with buffer_write_io_error()
Date: Sat,  1 Aug 2026 18:00:54 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <debeabce46c73ff63152dbdb67eba64d60c45c98.1785621505.git.coshi036@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1785621505.git.coshi036@gmail.com>

exfat_update_bhs() waits for the writes it issued and then tests
!buffer_uptodate() to find the ones that failed.  That relies on the write
completion handler clearing BH_Uptodate on error, which this series
removes: a buffer whose write failed still holds the data the filesystem
asked to be written, so declaring it not up to date is wrong and makes
callers re-read it.

Test BH_Write_EIO, which is what the completion handler sets and what this
code actually wants to know.

No behaviour change today - a failed write sets BH_Write_EIO and clears
BH_Uptodate together.  It stops being a no-op at the end of the series,
where the new test is the one that still works.
