[PATCH net-next v2 1/3] gve: skip error logging for retryable AdminQ commands

From: Harshitha Ramamurthy <hramamurthy@google.com>
Date: 2026-03-26 22:45:32
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Jordan Rhee <redacted>

AdminQ commands may return -EAGAIN under certain transient conditions.
These commands are intended to be retried by the driver, so logging
a formal error to the system log is misleading and creates
unnecessary noise.

Modify the logging logic to skip the error message when the result
is -EAGAIN.
