Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 1/3] gve: skip error logging for retryable AdminQ commands
Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2026 23:40:00 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260406234002.3610542-2-hramamurthy@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260406234002.3610542-1-hramamurthy@google.com>
From: Jordan Rhee <jordanrhee@google.com>
AdminQ commands may return -EAGAIN under certain transient conditions.
These commands are intended to be retried by the driver, so logging
a formal error to the system log is misleading and creates
unnecessary noise.
Modify the logging logic to skip the error message when the result
is -EAGAIN, and move logging to dev_err_ratelimited() to avoid
spamming the log.

Changes in v4:
- call out change to dev_err_ratelimited() in the commit message (Jacob Keller)
- remove extra print when adminQ status is GVE_ADMINQ_COMMAND_UNSET (Jacob Keller)
