[PATCH 1/6] f2fs: fix to return correct error number in f2fs_sync_node_pages()

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Thu May 08 2025 - 01:15:48 EST


From: Chao Yu <chao@xxxxxxxxxx>

If __write_node_folio() failed, it will return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE,
the incorrect return value may be passed to userspace in below path,
fix it.

- sync_filesystem
- sync_fs
- f2fs_issue_checkpoint
- block_operations
- f2fs_sync_node_pages
- __write_node_folio
: return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE
