In general, I'm a bit worried about these changes, for two overall reasons:

1) I didn't see any analysis of the ultimate end users of block layer error values: the filesystems.

The filesystems or helpers they use normally did not even check the -Exyz error they were getting except for -EOPNOTSUPPORTED. They typically use the uptodate bits on the bio or buffer head.

A greater discussion on what the FS's needed and what actions they should take would be good though, I agree. They never responded in the past so I thought the MD and DM were the only interested users for now. I will post to lkml or fs-devel next time. Sorry about that.
