Subject: btrfs: make find_workspace warn if there are no workspaces
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ae55b9ec7ac117c05ff866500425fe8b4accfebe;p=linux-beck.git

btrfs: make find_workspace warn if there are no workspaces

Be verbose if there are no workspaces at all, ie. the module init time
preallocation failed.
