I believe this is buggy since it will be masking errors. We call
btrfs_read_dev_super in open_ctree_with_broken_chunk if the function
returns 1 we eventually exit as: return ERR_PTR(ret); And then perform
IS_ERR on the returned value. IS_ERR is essentially:
((x) >= (unsigned long)-MAX_ERRNO) where x could be 1 and MAX_ERRNO is 4095

So you just broke all functions which return the ret of
btrfs_read_dev_super as ERR_PTR.


NAK

This doesn't looks good to me either.

No suitable superblock is already an error.
Why not just returning -ENOENT and let caller who really needs to
distinguish this to catch that -ENOENT?

 Thanks for pointing out. Will fix it. IMO, -ENOENT is good for now.

 (Though the actual cleanup would be to..
    There are two parts in btrfs_read_dev_super() one to read
    only the BTRFS_SUPER_INFO_OFFSET SB. And the other to pick
    the latest SB by generation #. So splitting them two separate
    functions will let us know where do we use what in a much
    clearer way. And for 2nd pread64 we should probably use errno.)

Thanks, Anand


Thanks,
