The quilt patch titled Subject: nilfs2: treat missing cpfile header block as metadata corruption has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was nilfs2-treat-missing-cpfile-header-block-as-metadata-corruption.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: treat missing cpfile header block as metadata corruption Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2024 00:46:24 +0900 The cpfile, a metadata file that holds metadata for checkpoint management, also has statistical information in its first block, and if reading this block fails, it receives the internal code -ENOENT and returns that code to the callers. As with sufile, to prevent this -ENOENT from being propagated to system calls, return -EIO instead when reading the header block fails.
