Yes, ooks like that got lost and no test noticed it

- if (xfs_file_sync_writes(file)) + if (!error && xfs_file_sync_writes(file)) error = xfs_log_force_inode(ip);I'd think if you hit -ENOSPC or something after doing a partial alloc to a sync inode, you'd still want to flush the changes that were made..?
Persistence behavior on error is always undefined. And that's also what the current code does, as it jumps past the log force from all error exits.
