The pr_err statement in the code for sysfs_attatch section would run for various error codes, which maybe confusing. E.g, Run the command twice: echo 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-a8df5e8be891 > \ /sys/block/bcache0/bcache/attach [the backing dev got attached on the first run] echo 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-a8df5e8be891 > \ /sys/block/bcache0/bcache/attach In dmesg, after the command run twice, we can get: bcache: bch_cached_dev_attach() Can't attach sda6: already attached bcache: __cached_dev_store() Can't attach 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-\ a8df5e8be891 : cache set not found The first statement in the message was right, but the second was confusing. bch_cached_dev_attach has various pr_ statements for various error codes, except ENOENT. After the change, rerun above command twice: echo 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-a8df5e8be891 > \ /sys/block/bcache0/bcache/attach echo 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-a8df5e8be891 > \ /sys/block/bcache0/bcache/attach In dmesg we only got: bcache: bch_cached_dev_attach() Can't attach sda6: already attached No confusing "cache set not found" message anymore. And for some not exist SET-UUID: echo 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-a8df5e8be898 > \ /sys/block/bcache0/bcache/attach In dmesg we can get: bcache: __cached_dev_store() Can't attach 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-\ a8df5e8be898 : cache set not found Signed-off-by: Shenghui Wang <shhuiw@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/md/bcache/sysfs.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/md/bcache/sysfs.c b/drivers/md/bcache/sysfs.c index 225b15aa0340..0c92f6ef5afa 100644 --- a/drivers/md/bcache/sysfs.c +++ b/drivers/md/bcache/sysfs.c @@ -338,8 +338,8 @@ STORE(__cached_dev) if (!v) return size; } - - pr_err("Can't attach %s: cache set not found", buf); + if (v == -ENOENT) + pr_err("Can't attach %s: cache set not found", buf); return v; } -- 2.18.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bcache" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
