OK, how about the following document? /* * BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURC: Block layer and block driver specific status, * which is usually returned from driver to block layer in IO path. * * BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE is returned from driver to block layer if device * related resource is run out of, but driver can guarantee that queue * will be rerun in future for dispatching the current request when this * resource is available. * * Difference with BLK_STS_RESOURCE: * If driver isn't sure if the queue can be run again for dealing with the * current request after this kind of resource is available, please return * BLK_STS_SOURCE, for example, when memory allocation, DMA Mapping or other * system resource allocation fails and IO can't be submitted to device, * BLK_STS_RESOURCE should be used for avoiding IO hang. */ #define BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE ((__force blk_status_t)13) Thanks, Ming -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
