From: Jeff Layton <redacted> ext2 currently does a test+clear of the AS_EIO flag, which is is problematic for some coming changes. What we really need to do instead is call filemap_check_errors in __generic_file_fsync after syncing out the buffers. That will be sufficient for this case, and help other callers detect these errors properly as well. With that, we don't need to twiddle it in ext2.
