This looks good.

I am trying to understand why these calls are not needed for the error case.
I see similar pattern, for e.g. in iomap_finish_folio_read() where we call these
functions for the error case.

If we don't need to call these anymore, can the mpage code also be shortened like this:

-static void mpage_end_io(struct bio *bio)
+static void mpage_read_end_io(struct bio *bio)
{
- struct bio_vec *bv;
- struct bvec_iter_all iter_all;
+ struct folio_iter fi;
+ int err = blk_status_to_errno(bio->bi_status);

- bio_for_each_segment_all(bv, bio, iter_all) {
- struct page *page = bv->bv_page;
- page_endio(page, bio_op(bio),
- blk_status_to_errno(bio->bi_status));
+ bio_for_each_folio_all(fi, bio) {
+ struct folio *folio = fi.folio;
+
+ if (!err)
+ folio_mark_uptodate(folio);
+ folio_unlock(folio);
+ }
+
+ bio_put(bio);
+}
+
+static void mpage_write_end_io(struct bio *bio)
+{
....
