[ Upstream commit ce3e4cfb59cb382f8e5ce359238aa580d4ae7778 ] Currently run_cache_set() has no return value, if there is failure in bch_journal_replay(), the caller of run_cache_set() has no idea about such failure and just continue to execute following code after run_cache_set(). The internal failure is triggered inside bch_journal_replay() and being handled in async way. This behavior is inefficient, while failure handling inside bch_journal_replay(), cache register code is still running to start the cache set. Registering and unregistering code running as same time may introduce some rare race condition, and make the code to be more hard to be understood. This patch adds return value to run_cache_set(), and returns -EIO if bch_journal_rreplay() fails. Then caller of run_cache_set() may detect such failure and stop registering code flow immedidately inside register_cache_set(). If journal replay fails, run_cache_set() can report error immediately to register_cache_set(). This patch makes the failure handling for bch_journal_replay() be in synchronized way, easier to understand and debug, and avoid poetential race condition for register-and-unregister in same time.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
