Yes, there's already a kernel fix in dlm.git, see "dlm: fix plock dev_write return value" http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/teigland/dlm.git;a=shortlog;h=next Suppressing the message spamming is a good solution in the mean time, and has a better chance of getting to customers before the kernel patch.
