Subject: [PATCH] ext4: print more sysadmin-friendly message in check_block_validity()
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2009 08:22:42 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1252412562-738-1-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4AA645F0.8050903@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Drop the WARN_ON(1), as he stack trace is not appropriate, since it is
triggered by file system corruption, and it misleads users into
thinking there is a kernel bug. In addition, change the message
displayed by ext4_error() to make it clear that this is a file system
corruption problem.
