[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 1/1] OCFS2: Log -EIO errors just when hit them.

[Wengang Wang <wen.gang.wang@oracle.com>]

Hi Sunil and Joel,

For the EIO log problem, ocfs2_end_buffer_io_sync() is used as the 
callback function b_end_io
for both READ and WRITE.
I noticed that in this function,

if (!uptodate)
    mlog_errno(-EIO);

Isn't the 2 lines enough to log EIO errors?

regards,
wengang.
