Patchb2a846dbef("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. Beforeb2a846dbef, 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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
