    fs: clear writeback errors in inode_init_always · aee9a4a5

    In inode_init_always(), we clear the inode mapping flags, which clears
    any retained error (AS_EIO, AS_ENOSPC) bits.  Unfortunately, we do not
    also clear wb_err, which means that old mapping errors can leak through
    to new inodes.
    
    This is crucial for the XFS inode allocation path because we recycle old
    in-core inodes and we do not want error state from an old file to leak
    into the new file.  This bug was discovered by running generic/036 and
    generic/047 in a loop and noticing that the EIOs generated by the
    collision of direct and buffered writes in generic/036 would survive the
    remount between 036 and 047, and get reported to the fsyncs (on
    different files!) in generic/047.
