From 2c3d03cdbd395a619b0b9503a110dd51244b9a48 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Snitzer Date: Wed, 6 Jan 2021 18:19:05 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] dm: eliminate potential source of excessive kernel log noise commit 0378c625afe80eb3f212adae42cc33c9f6f31abf upstream. There wasn't ever a real need to log an error in the kernel log for ioctls issued with insufficient permissions. Simply return an error and if an admin/user is sufficiently motivated they can enable DM's dynamic debugging to see an explanation for why the ioctls were disallowed.
