[PATCH] 2.6.15-mm3 - make useless quota error message informative

From: Valdis . Kletnieks
Date: Thu Jan 12 2006 - 15:43:49 EST


fs/quota_v2.c can, under some conditions, issue a kernel message that
says, in totality, 'failed read'. This patch does the following:

1) Gives a hint who issued the error message, so people reading the logs
don't have to go grepping the entire kernel tree (with 11 false positives).

2) Say what amount of data we expected, and actually got.
