It walks a list of items applying a function to them and bales out on first-error. There's no way in which the caller can know which items have been operated on, nor which items have yet to be operated on, nor which item experienced the failure. Any caller which is serious about error recovery presumably won't use it, unless the callback function happens to be something which makes no state changes. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
