[PATCH] f2fs: stop checkpoint on compressed write IO error

[PATCH] f2fs: stop checkpoint on compressed write IO error

[Wenjie Qi]

Compressed data writes are accounted as F2FS_WB_CP_DATA because they
write compressed pages through fio->compressed_page.  Their end_io path
should therefore have the same checkpoint-stop behavior as ordinary
F2FS_WB_CP_DATA writes.

However, f2fs_compress_write_end_io() only records -EIO in the inode
mapping when the bio fails.  The filesystem can keep checkpointing after
that failure, so a later checkpoint may persist metadata that points to
compressed data blocks whose writeback failed.

Stop checkpointing with STOP_CP_REASON_WRITE_FAIL for failed compressed
F2FS_WB_CP_DATA writes, matching the ordinary data write end_io path.

It turns out the type should not be F2FS_WB_CP_DATA.
