I think that we have to use the return value if we want to propagate the errorno to the above.
I will change the return value meanings of ocfs2_overwrite_io() function.
return 0 means this is a overwrite allocated block IO.
return -EGAIN means there are some blocks which are not allocated.
return other -ERRNO means there is another error happened.
Does it make sense?
