When run_delalloc_nocow has cow_start set to a value other than (u64)-1, it has delayed COW writeback pending behind cur_offset. When an error occurs in such a window, the range going back to cow_start and not just cur_offset needs to be unlocked, but only two error cases handle this correctly Move the code to handle unlock the COW range to the common error handling label and document the logic. To make things even more complicated, cow_file_range as called by fallback_to_cow will unlock the range it is operating on when it fails as well, so we need to reset cow_start right after caling fallback_to_cow instead of only when it succeeded.

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.
