Message-ID: <20131217234313.GA2183@wallace> Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2013 18:43:13 -0500 From: Eric Whitney <enwlinux@...il.com> To: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org Cc: tytso@....edu, darrick.wong@...cle.com Subject: current e2fsprogs maint branch test results I've built the contents of the current e2fsprogs maint branch (4727c67dc2) and run make check on both a Pandaboard (ARM) and an x86-64 VM. In each case I used the following arguments to configure: --disable-uuidd --disable-libuuid --disable-libblkid. Both the ARM and x86-64 runs produced warnings when compiling ea_refcount.c during make check. I posted a patch yesterday (e2fsck: fix printf conversion specs in ea_refcount.c) that clears those up for me on both platforms. The ARM build and make check were otherwise clean. The x86-64 build and make check contained one more problem - a warning while compiling debugfs.c: ../../debugfs/debugfs.c:2462:5: warning: too many arguments for format [-Wformat-extra-args] This code (commit fe56188b07) is part of that used to check superblock block numbers specified on the command line, and the error reporting has become a little fuzzy relative to what we had previously. Before: root@...ug1:~# debugfs -s 327b /dev/vdc debugfs 1.42.8 (20-Jun-2013) debugfs: Bad superblock number - 327b After: root@...ug1:~# debugfs -s 327b /dev/vdc debugfs 1.42.8 (20-Jun-2013) debugfs: Bad block number - 327b debugfs: Invalid block number: 327b debugfs: Operation not permitted Both strtoblk() and parseulonglong() (which it calls) output error messages for bad/invalid block numbers, which is redundant in this case. The last (erroneous) error message is output by the call to com_err() which also causes the warning noted above. It seems to me that the call to com_err() ought to be deleted, and maybe the immediately preceding call to strtoblk() ought to be converted to a call to parseulonglong() to restore the original messaging. I'd like to post a patch, but there are a number of other calls to strtoblk() in debugfs now that will produce two messages on errors, and the intent isn't clear to me. Is this just an area that needed a little more polish?
