This adds comments to the flush error handling part of
the code, and hopes to maintain the same logic with a
framework which can be used to handle the errors at the
volume level.

Hi David,

  This patch adds comments explaining the original design, and also adds 
a cleanup so that a volume level error-handles for the flush failures 
can be implemented. I wonder if you have any comments.?

  (Also just a note, a bio prealloc (for flush) will make below ENOMEM 
to go away, however the prealloc itself has to optimized based on the 
barrier option. So in the long run I don't think below ENOMEM would remain.)

Thanks, Anand

That's -ENOMEM

Can you please reformat this so it's clear what's the condition and
what's the statement?

Here the error is set unconditionally, so it always tracks the return
code, not only the error ...

... while this tracks only the errors. Unless I'm missing something,
both should be set in a consistent way.

This could still be problematic under some very rare conditions, but I
don't deem it important at the moment as the memory allocation will be
gone. Then the comment reflects the current state, which is fine.

  My bad, will fix it.

  Right. So it captures send part of the error, that is when we call
  write_dev_flush(... 0); which returns only -ENOMEM or 0;

   Actually this is correct, that way I preserve the -ENOMEM; which
   occurred in the send part of the code. And during wait.. we always
   return 0; for -ENOMEM that occurred during send.

  Thanks for mentioning that; though I suspected that way as well;
  I had to put extra effort not to change original logic unless
  there is an identified issue with it. So I instead, I just documented
  the logic in the comments.

  I am sending V2 with the above changes.

Thanks, Anand
