The pr_err statement in the code for sysfs_attatch section would run for various error codes, which maybe confusing. E.g, Run the command twice: echo 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-a8df5e8be891 > \ /sys/block/bcache0/bcache/attach [the backing dev got attached on the first run] echo 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-a8df5e8be891 > \ /sys/block/bcache0/bcache/attach In dmesg, after the command run twice, we can get: bcache: bch_cached_dev_attach() Can't attach sda6: already attached bcache: __cached_dev_store() Can't attach 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-\ a8df5e8be891 : cache set not found The first statement in the message was right, but the second was confusing. bch_cached_dev_attach has various pr_ statements for various error codes, except ENOENT. After the change, rerun above command twice: echo 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-a8df5e8be891 > \ /sys/block/bcache0/bcache/attach echo 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-a8df5e8be891 > \ /sys/block/bcache0/bcache/attach In dmesg we only got: bcache: bch_cached_dev_attach() Can't attach sda6: already attached No confusing "cache set not found" message anymore. And for some not exist SET-UUID: echo 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-a8df5e8be898 > \ /sys/block/bcache0/bcache/attach In dmesg we can get: bcache: __cached_dev_store() Can't attach 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-\ a8df5e8be898 : cache set not found Signed-off-by: Shenghui Wang <shhuiw@foxmail.com> Signed-off-by: Coly Li <colyli@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
