I don't know. That code has been introduced in http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=5e58a02a8f6a7a1c9ae41f39286bcd3aea0d6f24 Ccing Andi. IMO we should not print any warning in that function, leaving the error handling to the caller. Bernhard -- Bernhard Walle, SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Architecture Maintenance
