Temporary IO failures, eg. due to loss of both multipath paths, can permanently leave the PageError bit set on a page, resulting in msync or fsync returning -EIO over and over again, even if IO is now getting to the disk correctly. We already clear the AS_ENOSPC and AS_IO bits in mapping->flags in the filemap_fdatawait_range function. Also clearing the PageError bit on the page allows subsequent msync or fsync calls on this file to return without an error, if the subsequent IO succeeds. Unfortunately data written out in the msync or fsync call that returned -EIO can still get lost, because the page dirty bit appears to not get restored on IO error. However, the alternative could be potentially all of memory filling up with uncleanable dirty pages, hanging the system, so there is no nice choice here...
