This function always returns 0, and ignores the nofail boolean. Drop the
nofail argument, make the function void return and fix up the callers.

Looks good.

Will merge to the testing branch and test it.

Thanks Jeff!

Hi Jeff,

I'm confused by this err != 0 check.  Previously err was set to 0
by ceph_osdc_start_request() and netfs_subreq_terminated() was never
called after an OSD request submission.  Now it is called, but only if
len != 0?

I see that netfs_subreq_terminated() accepts either the amount of data
transferred or an error code but it also has some transferred_or_error
== 0 handling which this check effectively disables.  And do we really
want to account for transferred data before the transfer occurs?

Thanks,

                Ilya

No we don't. I think you're correct. What I'm not sure of is why this
doesn't cause test failures all over the place.

In any case, I'll need to respin this. I'll do that and send a v2.

Good catch!

The incremental "patch to the patch" is here:

        len = err;

        osd_req_op_extent_osd_data_pages(req, 0, pages, len, 0, false, false);
        req->r_callback = finish_netfs_read;

I'll need to rebuild my test environment to make sure this is working as expected.

This is due to "libceph: add new iov_iter-based ceph_msg_data_type and
ceph_osd_data_type" and "ceph: use osd_req_op_extent_osd_iter for netfs
reads" end up fixing it later by removing iov_iter_get_pages_alloc()
call.  I think because these commits were backed out of testing at one
point and re-added later, the order got messed up by accident.

Thanks,

Yep, that's the reason. Would you mind folding the one-line fix into the
original patch, or would you rather I send a v2?
