The quilt patch titled Subject: nilfs2: do not output warnings when clearing dirty buffers has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was nilfs2-do-not-output-warnings-when-clearing-dirty-buffers.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: nilfs2: do not output warnings when clearing dirty buffers Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2024 18:01:28 +0900 After detecting file system corruption and degrading to a read-only mount, dirty folios and buffers in the page cache are cleared, and a large number of warnings are output at that time, often filling up the kernel log. In this case, since the degrading to a read-only mount is output to the kernel log, these warnings are not very meaningful, and are rather a nuisance in system management and debugging. The related nilfs2-specific page/folio routines have a silent argument that suppresses the warning output, but since it is not currently used meaningfully, remove both the silent argument and the warning output.
