Subject: [PATCH 2/9] xfs: limit superblock corruption errors to actual corruption
Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2014 17:52:22 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1392767549-25574-3-git-send-email-sandeen@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1392767549-25574-1-git-send-email-sandeen@redhat.com>

Today, if

xfs_sb_read_verify
  xfs_sb_verify
    xfs_mount_validate_sb

detects superblock corruption, it'll be extremely noisy, dumping
2 stacks, 2 hexdumps, etc.

This is because we call XFS_CORRUPTION_ERROR in xfs_mount_validate_sb
as well as in xfs_sb_read_verify.

Also, *any* errors in xfs_mount_validate_sb which are not corruption
per se; things like too-big-blocksize, bad version, bad magic, v1 dirs,
rw-incompat etc - things which do not return EFSCORRUPTED - will
still do the whole XFS_CORRUPTION_ERROR spew when xfs_sb_read_verify
sees any error at all.  And it suggests to the user that they
should run xfs_repair, even if the root cause of the mount failure
is a simple incompatibility.

I'll submit that the probably-not-corrupted errors don't warrant
this much noise, so this patch removes the warning for anything
other than EFSCORRUPTED returns, and replaces the lower-level
XFS_CORRUPTION_ERROR with an xfs_notice().
