4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> commit 84a4620cfe97c9d57e39b2369bfb77faff55063d upstream. There are only two reasons for xfs_log_force / xfs_log_force_lsn to fail: one is an I/O error, for which xlog_bdstrat already logs a warning, and the second is an already shutdown log due to a previous I/O errors. In the latter case we'll already have a previous indication for the actual error, but the large stream of misleading warnings from xfs_log_force will probably scroll it out of the message buffer. Simply removing the warnings thus makes the XFS log reporting significantly better.
