For completeness. You could see it as telling you how much progress was made before an error occurred. In the success case offset will always be equal to len. But in the error case you get the last completed progress before error, which could be useful (for example if you weren't polling but want to display "Streaming virtio-blk0 failed at 33%"). Stefan
