Re: [PATCH] ext4: add error handling when discard cmd is fail in FITRIM

How about instead of propagating the error to user and breaking out of
the discard, just print a warning message like:
ext4_warning(sb, "error %d while trimming group block from %d to
%d\n",ret, start, next);
That's what I said. I think that those errors should be logged, but
I am not sure that doing it on fs level is such a good idea. Do you
see any errors in the logs when the discard command fails ?
Ok, I understand your point. Discard errors should be logged at block
layer. Reasonable too.
This is already happening. In case of discard error:
#> ./fitrim_test
end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 27232
#>
#> echo $?
0
Even though error happend during discard, the return value is success.
I think this is little confusing.

Thanks,
Ashish
