Subject: nilfs2: replace WARN_ONs for invalid DAT metadata block requests
From: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 5124a0a549857c4b87173280e192eea24dea72ad upstream.
If DAT metadata file block access fails due to corruption of the DAT file
or abnormal virtual block numbers held by b-trees or inodes, a kernel
warning is generated.
This replaces the WARN_ONs by error output, so that a kernel, booted with
panic_on_warn, does not panic. This patch also replaces the detected
return code -ENOENT with another internal code -EINVAL to notify the bmap
layer of metadata corruption. When the bmap layer sees -EINVAL, it
handles the abnormal situation with nilfs_bmap_convert_error() and finally
returns code -EIO as it should.
