We can't have nfs_wb_page() truncate the page from the mapping if there's
an error on the context without returning that error, because we may be in
nfs_updatepage() holding the page and trying to update the request.  Not
having any error returned means we'll proceed to create a new request and
dereference the truncated page->mapping.

If we're going to remove the page, always return the error that signaled us
to do so in nfs_page_async_flush().

Fixes: c373fff7bd25 ("NFSv4: Don't special case "launder"")

Hi Ben

We were apparently both looking at the same code last week ☺. I have a
similar patch, but that also fixes a similar clobbering issue with the
nfs_error_is_fatal() error just a few lines further down.

Without the extra hunk, we could end up converting an interrupted call
into a 'successful' write.

Cheers
  Trond

Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Fix up return value on fatal errors in
 nfs_page_async_flush()

Ensure that we return the fatal error value that caused us to exit
nfs_page_async_flush().

Fixes: a6598813a4c5 ("NFS: Don't write back further requests...")

Looks right to me.  I hope you'll take the Fixes and stable version from
my patch, which will cover the problem I'm seeing.

At first, I thought I'd have to split this patch in 2 so that it could
apply to 4.11 and 4.12, but it looks to me as if the commit from the
Fixes line you were showing is actually only present in 4.12 and later.
Am I wrong?

You're right.  I did

# git describe c373fff7bd25
v4.11-rc7-70-gc373fff7bd25

.. and assumed it ended up in v4.11.  I wonder what actually happened to 
it, I'll see if I can find out.

git describe is giving me the closest ancestor of the commit, not (what I
expected) the closest ancestor after the merge.  I should use git describe
--contains instead.
