ext4: bail early when clearing inode journal flag fails

jankara · tytso · commit 4f879ca687a5 · 2014-10-30T10:53:17.000-04:00
When clearing inode journal flag, we call jbd2_journal_flush() to force
all the journalled data to their final locations. Currently we ignore
when this fails and continue clearing inode journal flag. This isn't a
big problem because when jbd2_journal_flush() fails, journal is likely
aborted anyway. But it can still lead to somewhat confusing results so
rather bail out early.
