parentntfs: capture mft mirror sync errors in ntfs_write_mft_block() (diff)
ntfs: wait for sync mft writes to complete
ntfs_sync_mft_mirror() and write_mft_record_nolock() with @sync set are both documented as synchronous, but neither actually waits for the bio they submit nor inspects bi_status. write_inode() can return success while dirty mft record bytes are still in flight, and bio errors are silently dropped: the volume is not marked with errors and the inode is not redirtied. This breaks fsync()/sync metadata durability. Switch ntfs_sync_mft_mirror() and the @sync path of write_mft_record_nolock() to submit_bio_wait() and propagate the returned error to the caller. Capture ntfs_sync_mft_mirror()'s return value at its call sites in write_mft_record_nolock() so a mirror write failure surfaces too. The @sync parameter only controls the main MFT bio. The !@sync main submission is therefore unchanged and still uses ntfs_bio_end_io() to drop the folio reference taken before submission. The mirror call has always been documented as performing synchronous I/O regardless of @sync, so making it actually block restores the originally intended contract for both @sync and !@sync callers. Note this only fixes the synchronous mirror/main paths reachable from write_mft_record_nolock(). The main MFT write submitted from ntfs_write_mft_block() (the .writepages path) still does not wait for completion or check bi_status; that requires a larger restructuring and is left to a follow-up patch.
