If the host is trying to communicate with the gadget at the time of the 
mode switch, it will see that something is wrong because the gadget will 
still be connected (the pullup will still be on) but it won't reply to 
any USB packets.

That's true.  If the host is not trying to communicate with the gadget, 
it won't get any errors.

I think it's good to have those messages show up when the log level is 
set to debug.  They let developers know what's happening when they test 
changes to the gadget drivers.  If the messages really bother somebody, 
all they have to do is reduce the log level to info.

If you're still concerned about the behavior of the mass-storage 
function, you could change it.  Make it disable itself whenever it gets 
a -ESHUTDOWN error, either while submitting a request or as a completion 
status.  This should reduce the number of error messages, although it 
won't eliminate them.

(Of course, this still leaves the possibility of floods of debugging 
messages from all the other function drivers...)

I think it's not a good thing to do.  And I don't think it will reduce 
the mode switch time, because both operations still have to occur so 
they will require the same total amount of time.
