Subject: [PATCH v9 04/12] NFSD: Remove specific error handling
Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2025 11:53:43 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251103165351.10261-5-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251103165351.10261-1-cel@kernel.org>
From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
1. Christoph notes that ENOTBLK is not supposed to leak out of file
systems, so it's unlikely or impossible to see that error code
here.
2. There are several ways to get EINVAL on a write. The least likely
of those is a dio alignment problem. The warning here would be
misleading in those more common cases.
It's unlikely that an administrator can do anything about either
of these cases, should they appear on a production system.
The trace_nfsd_write_done event will record these errnos when they
occur.
