[PATCH 3/18] blk-lib: fix error reporting

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

 



The function bio_batch_end_io ignores -EOPNOTSUPP. It doesn't matter for
discard (the device isn't required to discard anything, so missing the
error code and reporting success shouldn't cause any trouble). However,
for WRITE SAME command, missing the error code is obviously wrong. It may
fool the user into thinking that the data were written while in fact they
weren't.

Note that in device mapper, devices may be dynamically reconfigured, so a
device that supports WRITE SAME may stop supporting it at any time and
return -EOPNOTSUPP. Ignoring -EOPNOTSUPP is wrong.

This patch changes bio_batch->flags to an error field and stores the last
error there - so that the error is reported accurately and it isn't
ignored.
