I believe Adrian has NACKed this patch, by saying "It is absolutely unacceptable to return I/O errors to the upper layers for segments that do not have errors." I think it's possible to merge patches to improve the situation (such as the idea of noticing a card disappearing earlier), but your initial patch is not the patch to do that. You should continue to work with Adrian -- when he's happy that a patch does not break the semantics above, we can consider merging it. Thanks, -- Chris Ball One Laptop Per Child
