Ignoring the return value from nfs_pageio_add_request can cause deadlocks.
In read path:
call nfs_pageio_add_request from readpage_async_filler
assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that
can't be merged with the current request.
so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc.
assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set.
This causes nfs_pageio_add_request to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original
request.
BUT, since return code is ignored, readpage_async_filler assumes it has
been added, and does nothing further, leaving page locked.
do_generic_mapping_read will eventually call lock_page, resulting in deadlock
In write path:
page is marked dirty by generic_perform_write
nfs_writepages is called
call nfs_pageio_add_request from nfs_page_async_flush
assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that
can't be merged with the current request.
so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc.
assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set.
This causes nfs_page_async_flush to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original
request, yet marking the request as locked (PG_BUSY) and in writeback,
clearing dirty marks.
The next time a write is done to the page, deadlock will result as
nfs_write_end calls nfs_update_request
