Hi,

when testing Linux-next (upcoming v3.20) I fell over similiar messages
when running fio here.

This commit helped which is now upstream [1]...

FYI: This is with Linux-v3.19-9526-ga135c717d5cd plus vfs.git#for-linus.

This really has nothing to do with commit 9f9ee1f2b2f, other than that they both have some block related messages. The above is normal IO errors on the device, we expect to see messages related to that. The question is mostly why you are seeing those. What are you running on the device?

And is this a regression since 3.19?
