From d87dd6360dce86cad9099aed74f14b4dd0143301 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Chinner Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2008 12:21:46 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] [XFS] Warn if errors come from block_truncate_page(). block_truncate_page() can return errors that we currently ignore and silently discard. We should not ever get errors reported here - an error indicates a bug somewhere else. Hence catch the error and issue a stack dump to the syslog because we cannot propagate the error any further up the call chain.
