While I more agree on the point that we better to have explicit list of failed descriptors, here is another point that user (which is interested in error checking) has to provide callback_result instead of callback. > In my opinion, we should create desc_error list. > When we get error we'll move descriptor to desc_error list and call > complete callback.
