Re: [patch 2/3] Add MP_RETRY flag for hw handlers to tell dm-mpath to retry pg_init.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Definitions of pg_init_retries and pg_init_count still uses spaces
(instead of tabs, which is the case with rest of the definitions around.

Other than that it looks good.
