this change should not be pushed to mainline yet. Firstly, Christoph has a newer version of the patch that fixes silent data corruption problem: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-May/msg00229.html And the new version still depends on LLDDs to always complete requests to the end when error happens, while block API doesn't enforce such a requirement. If the assumption is ever broken, the inconsistency between request and bio (e.g. rq->__sector and rq->bio) will cause silent data corruption: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-June/msg00022.html -- Jun'ichi Nomura, NEC Corporation -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
