commit b28ff3a7d7e97456fd86b68d24caa32e1cfa7064 upstream.
btrfs_attach_transaction_barrier() is used to get a handle pointing to the
current running transaction if the transaction has not started its commit
yet (its state is < TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START). If the transaction commit
has started, then we wait for the transaction to commit and finish before
returning - however we completely ignore if the transaction was aborted
due to some error during its commit, we simply return ERR_PT(-ENOENT),
which makes the caller assume everything is fine and no errors happened.
This could make an fsync return success (0) to user space when in fact we
had a transaction abort and the target inode changes were therefore not
persisted.
Fix this by checking for the return value from btrfs_wait_for_commit(),
and if it returned an error, return it back to the caller.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
