From 16a57d7681110b25708c7042688412238e6f73a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shyam Prasad N sprasad@microsoft.com Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2024 10:40:40 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] cifs: reduce warning log level for server not advertising interfaces MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Several users have reported this log getting dumped too regularly to kernel log. The likely root cause has been identified, and it suggests that this situation is expected for some configurations (for example SMB2.1).

Since the function returns appropriately even for such cases, it is fairly harmless to make this a debug log. When needed, the verbosity can be increased to capture this log.
