[PATCHv2 3/5] block: Provide blk_status_t decoding for path errors

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

 



This patch provides a common decoder for block status path related errors
that may be retried so various entities wishing to consult this do not
have to duplicate this decision.
