Hi Miklos,
We just went through this discussion for the case of NFS.
The point is that ->flush() is only called on close(). While you can report errors in close(), the 'man 2 fsync' manpage documents that post-Linux 4.13, the writeback errors are required to be returned on - >fsync(). You should therefore not be calling file_check_and_advance_wb_err() in anything that is being called as part of close() since that will clear the error from the errseq_t and prevent it from being reported in a future fsync() call from a dup()ed file descriptor, etc.
NFS also wants to make a special case out of write() when we know that the error is one of EDQUOT, EFBIG or ENOSPC, in which case we will also use file_check_and_advance_wb_err() to return the error immediately, and clear it from the errseq_t.
