commit b28ff3a7d7e97456fd86b68d24caa32e1cfa7064 upstream. btrfs_attach_transaction_barrier() is used to get a handle pointing to the current running transaction if the transaction has not started its commit yet (its state is < TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START). If the transaction commit has started, then we wait for the transaction to commit and finish before returning - however we completely ignore if the transaction was aborted due to some error during its commit, we simply return ERR_PT(-ENOENT), which makes the caller assume everything is fine and no errors happened. This could make an fsync return success (0) to user space when in fact we had a transaction abort and the target inode changes were therefore not persisted. Fix this by checking for the return value from btrfs_wait_for_commit(), and if it returned an error, return it back to the caller.

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.
