If lock_extent_buffer_for_io() fails, it returns a negative value, but its caller btree_write_cache_pages() ignores such error. This means that a call to flush_write_bio(), from lock_extent_buffer_for_io(), might have failed. We should make btree_write_cache_pages() notice such error values and stop immediatelly, making sure filemap_fdatawrite_range() returns an error to the transaction commit path. A failure from flush_write_bio() should also result in the endio callback end_bio_extent_buffer_writepage() being invoked, which sets the BTRFS_FS_*_ERR bits appropriately, so that there's no risk a transaction or log commit doesn't catch a writeback failure.

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.
