Before this patch function gfs2_ail_empty_gl called gfs2_log_flush even in cases where it encountered an error. It should probably skip the log flush and leave the file system in an inconsistent state, letting a subsequent withdraw force the journal to be replayed to reestablish metadata consistency.
