Well, this is not very useful. It doesn't provide any more useful
information than what we get from the WARN_ON() at
unpin_extent_cache(), making the patch not useful.
This warning has actually happened a few times when running fstests
that exercise relocation (not sure if it's gone and accidently fixed
by something recently).
But to make this more useful, I would place the message at
unpin_extent_cache() with useful information such as:
- inode number
- id of the root the inode belongs to
- the file offset (the start argument) and extent length (or end offset)
- why the warning triggered: we didn't find the extent map or we found
one with a different start offset
- if we found an unexpected extent map, dump its flags (so we can see
if it happens only with compressed or prealloc extents for e.g.) and
other details (length/end offset for e.g.)
Thanks.
