[PATCH 3/3] block/loop: suppress discard IO error message

From: Shaohua Li <hidden>
Date: 2017-08-30 19:17:18
Subsystem: block layer, the rest · Maintainers: Jens Axboe, Linus Torvalds

We don't know if fallocate really supports FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE till
fallocate is called. If it doesn't support, loop will return
-EOPNOTSUPP and we seee a lot of error message printed by
blk_update_request. Failure for discard IO isn't a problem, so we just
return 0 in loop which will suppress the IO error message
