The patch titled
NFS: suppress warnings about NFS4ERR_OLD_STATEID in nfs4_handle_exception
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
nfs-suppress-warnings-about-nfs4err_old_stateid-in-nfs4_handle_exception.patch
This patch was dropped because it was withdrawn
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: NFS: suppress warnings about NFS4ERR_OLD_STATEID in nfs4_handle_exception
From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx>
In certain situations, a NFSv4 client can end up with a set of racing calls
that cause the server to return a NFS4ERR_OLD_STATEID error. When this
occurs, the only real recourse that the client has is to retry the call.
In the current code, when this occurs, it triggers a useless printk (in
nfs4_map_errors):
nfs4_map_errors could not handle NFSv4 error 10024
Trond recently mentioned that we really don't need to worry users with that
info. The following patch is based on a suggestion by Frank Filz and
supresses this error. Changing the return code here to 0 should be safe
since all callers of nfs4_handle_exception are expected to retry the call
in this situation anyway.
