[ Upstream commit 4e79e3f08e576acd51dffb4520037188703238b3 ]
Patch b2a846dbef4e ("gfs2: Ignore journal log writes for jdata holes") tried (unsuccessfully) to fix a case in which writes were done to jdata blocks, the blocks are sent to the ail list, then a punch_hole or truncate operation caused the blocks to be freed. In other words, the ail items are for jdata holes. Before b2a846dbef4e, the jdata hole caused function gfs2_block_map to return -EIO, which was eventually interpreted as an IO error to the journal, and then withdraw.
This patch changes function gfs2_get_block_noalloc, which is only used for jdata writes, so it returns -ENODATA rather than -EIO, and when -ENODATA is returned to gfs2_ail1_start_one, the error is ignored. We can safely ignore it because gfs2_ail1_start_one is only called when the jdata pages have already been written and truncated, so the ail1 content no longer applies.
