'ext4_finish_bio' already call 'mapping_set_error' set mapping error , I think fsync
and sync_filesystem can report IO error.

static inline void mapping_set_error(struct address_space *mapping, int error)
{
if (likely(!error))
return;

/* Record in wb_err for checkers using errseq_t based tracking */
__filemap_set_wb_err(mapping, error);

/* Record it in superblock */
if (mapping->host)
errseq_set(&mapping->host->i_sb->s_wb_err, error);

/* Record it in flags for now, for legacy callers */
if (error == -ENOSPC)
set_bit(AS_ENOSPC, &mapping->flags);
else
set_bit(AS_EIO, &mapping->flags);
}
