[PATCH v8 08/18] mm: clean up error handling in write_one_page

From: jlayton@kernel.org
Date: 2017-06-29 13:19:44
Also in: linux-block, linux-btrfs, linux-fsdevel, linux-mm, linux-xfs
Subsystem: memory management, page cache, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Matthew Wilcox, Linus Torvalds

From: Jeff Layton <redacted>

Don't try to check PageError since that's potentially racy and not
necessarily going to be set after writepage errors out.

Instead, check the mapping for an error after writepage returns.
