Currently when a buffer with attached log items has an IO error
it called ->iop_error for each attched log item. These all call
xfs_set_li_failed() to handle the error, but we are about to change
the way log items manage buffers. hence we first need to remove the
per-item dependency on buffer handling done by xfs_set_li_failed().

We already have specific buffer type IO completion routines, so move
the log item error handling out of the generic error handling and
into the log item specific functions so we can implement per-type
error handling easily.

This requires a more complex return value from the error handling
code so that we can take the correct action the failure handling
requires.  This results in some repeated boilerplate in the
functions, but that can be cleaned up later once all the changes
cascade through this code.

What does the return value mean here?  true means "let the caller deal
with the error", false means "attempt a retry, if desired?  So this
function decides if we're going to fail immediately or not?

	if (xfs_buf_ioerr_fail_immediately(bp))
		goto out_stale;

That's a lengthy name though.  On second inspection, I guess this
function decides if the buffer is going to be sent through the io retry
mechanism, and the next two functions advance it through the retry
states until either the write succeeds or we declare permanent failure?

Might be nice to preserve some of this comment, since I initially
missed that this function both decides whether or not to do the retry
and sets up the buffer to do that.

/*
 * Decide if we're going to retry the write after a failure, and prepare
 * the buffer for retrying the write.
 */

Or, adding some newlines in the outer if body to make the two lines
that modify the bp state stand out would also help.

(TBH I'm struggling right now to make sense of what these new functions
do, though I'm fairly convinced that they at least aren't changing much
of the functionality...)

Might as well fix the indentation while you're at it.

Feels odd not to use an enum here, but as this is a static function
maybe it's not a high risk for screwing up in the callers.

Pretty much. I had some difficulty in working out how to break this
large function up sanely because of the 3-4 conditional functions
it performed for error handling, I named the function originally for
handling sync IO errors vs async IO errors which (may) require
retries.

So, yeah, "fail_immediately" is probably a better description, or
"fail_no_retry" sounds like a better name.

I thought I preserved it somewhere... yeah, it's above the
xfs_buf_iodone_error() function now.

I had to break up the IO error handling because the log item error
callbacks for the items attached to the buffer needed to be called
only if we want the higher level to issue retries. Later in this
series we end up with different retry error marking for each type of
buffer, but we only want to do that when the error handling code
itself hasn't done an immediate retry or marked it as a permanent
error.

So I had to break up the function in separate parts so that the
caller could tell exactly what action it needed to take on a
failure.

I can change it to use an enum. I wrote this expecting that this
code will get further factored and moved to xfs_buf.c once all the
mods have been made and everything settles down. That's about 3-4
patch series down the road at this point, though, so <shrug>. At
least changes in this patch largely don't affect the rest of this
patchset....

Cheers,

Dave.

I reiterate some of Darrick's comments in that it's slightly annoying to
see refactoring squashed together that looks like it could be done in a
couple smaller and more simple patches. That aside, the only thing that
kind of bothers me is...

... that we now clear the buffer error code before running the failure
callbacks. I know that nothing in the callbacks looks at it right now,
but I think it's subtle and inelegant to split it off this way. Can we
just move this entire block together into the type callbacks?

Sure. It's largely just deck chair rearragnement, though, because
the whole XFS_LI_FAILED ends up going away real soon. The next patchset
gets rid of it entirely for inode log items, and when the same
approach is applied to dquots, it no longer will be used by
anything and will be removed entirely.

IOWs, the future isn't "maybe error callbacks will do something
different", the future is "error callbacks don't exist any more".

Cheers,

Dave.
