Subject: ext4: clarify ext4_error message in ext4_mb_generate_buddy_error()
From: Theodore Ts'o <[email protected]>
commit 94d4c066a4ff170a2671b1a9b153febbf36796f6 upstream.
We are spending a lot of time explaining to users what this error
means. Let's try to improve the message to avoid this problem.
