Subject: [PATCH] xfs: don't print warnings when xfs_log_force fails
Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2016 09:23:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1482999799-11776-2-git-send-email-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1482999799-11776-1-git-send-email-hch@lst.de>

There are only two reasons for xfs_log_force / xfs_log_force_lsn to fail:
one is an I/O error, for which xlog_bdstrat already logs a warning, and
the second is an already shutdown log due to a previous I/O errors.  In
the latter case we'll already have a previous indication for the actual
error, but the large stream of misleading warnings from xfs_log_force
will probably scroll it out of the message buffer.

Simply removing the warnings thus makes the XFS log reporting significantly
better.
