On top of that, a function that is named __blk_mq_issue_req() and returns bool, you would logically expect a 'true' return to mean that it succeeded. This is the opposite. Not strongly opposed to the rest. -- Jens Axboe -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
