Subject: [PATCH v8 04/12] NFSD: Remove specific error handling
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 11:46:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251027154630.1774-5-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251027154630.1774-1-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.
