[PATCH] dm: map and endio return code clarification
Tighten the use of return values from the target map and end_io functions.
Values of 2 and above are now explictly reserved for future use. There are no
existing targets using such values.
The patch has no effect on existing behaviour.
o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target map functions.
Any positive value currently indicates "mapping complete", but all
existing drivers use the value 1. We now make that a requirement
so we can assign new meaning to higher values in future.
The new definition of return values from target map functions is:
< 0 : error
= 0 : The target will handle the io (DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED).
= 1 : Mapping completed (DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED).
> 1 : Reserved (undefined). Previously this was the same as '= 1'.
o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target end_io functions
for similar reasons.
DM_ENDIO_INCOMPLETE is introduced for a return value of 1.
Test results:
I have tested by using the multipath target.
I/Os succeed when valid paths exist.
I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and
queue_if_no_path is set.
I/Os fail when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is not set.
