Change the signature of iomap_write_iter() to return an error code. In
case we cannot allocate a page in iomap_write_begin(), we will not retry
the memory alloction in iomap_write_begin().

loff_t can already represent an error code.  And it's already used like
that.

I think the change you really want is:

	if (status == -EAGAIN)
		return -EAGAIN;
	if (written)
		return written;
	return status;

You don't need to change any of this.  Look at how iomap_iter_advance()
works.

Correct, I made the above change.

I think the change needs to be:

-    return written ? written : status;
+    if (status == -EAGAIN) {
+        iov_iter_revert(i, written);
+        return -EAGAIN;
+    }

Ah yes, I think you're right.

Does it work to leave everything the way it is, call back into the
iomap_write_iter() after having done a short write, get the -EAGAIN at
that point and pass the already-advanced iterator to the worker thread?
I haven't looked into the details of how that works, so maybe you just
can't do that.

With the above change, short writes are handled correctly.

Are they though?  What about a write that crosses an extent boundary?
iomap_write_iter() gets called once per extent and I have a feeling that
you really need to revert the entire write, rather than just the part
of the write that was to that extent.

Anyway, my question was whether we need to revert or whether the worker
thread can continue from where we left off.

Without iov_iter_revert() fsx fails with errors in short writes and also my test
program which issues short writes fails.

Does your test program include starting in one extent, completing the
portion of the write which is in that extent successfully, and having
the portion of the write which is in the second extent be short?

I do a 3k write, where the first 2k write is serviced from one extent and
the last 1k is served from another extent.

Does that answer the question?
