blk_path_error(9)

✨ blk_path_error(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the blk_path_error page — it's a kernel API manual situation, and tbh it's a short one but it's important, so let's get into it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

blk_path_error — returns true if error may be path related 🦋

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bool blk_path_error (blk_status_t error );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• error — the status the request was completed with. that's it, that's the whole vibe check 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does this actually do? it classifies block error status into two little buckets, bestie:

• non-retryable errors — nope, no coming back from these 💀
• ones that may be successful if retried on a failover path — okay so there's hope, iconic 🌈

---

👑 RETURN 👑

• false — retrying failover path will not help 🙈
• true — may succeed if retried ⭐

---

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• Kernel file ./include/linux/blk_types.h
• enum req_op(9)

---

and that's the whole page, bestie — go forth and classify those errors 💜
