The bug that 27ca8273f ("gfs2: Make sure FITRIM minlen is rounded up to
fs block size") fixes was a little confusing as the user saw
"Input/output error" which masked the -EINVAL that sb_issue_discard()
returned.
sb_issue_discard() can fail for various reasons, so we should return its
return value from gfs2_rgrp_send_discards() to avoid all errors being
reported as IO errors.
This improves error reporting for FITRIM and makes no difference to the
-o discard code path because the return value from
gfs2_rgrp_send_discards() gets thrown away in that case (and the option
switches off). Presumably that's why it was ok to just return -EIO in
the past, before FITRIM was implemented.
Tested with xfstests.

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.
