Qgroup function may overwrite the saved error 'err' with 0

endless loop in balance because we keep going back to balance
the same block group.

In which case?

If join_trans() fails, we won't go through qgroup fix.
And before join_trans(), they all go to out_free/out tag.
Nothing to do with qgroup fix.

I don't think so.

It doesn't always go to out_free, in the while() loop, it'd break the
loop on any error and record it in @err, then go through
prepare_to_merge() + merge_reloc_roots() and other stuff.

Here's an example for keeping err after the above while loop(),
...
err = prepare_to_merge(rc, err);
...

OK, that's right.

While IMHO it's a larger problem that we didn't handle the error immediately after prepare_to_merge() or inside the while(1) loop, but postpone it to later parts.

And if we hit qgroup_fix_relocated_data_extents(), then 'err' is alreayd 0,
nothing we need to save.

And even for quota disabled case, qgroup_fix_relocated_data_extents() will
just return 0. Nothing wrong at all.

Or did I miss something?

Thanks,
Qu

It really should use 'ret' instead.
