Subject: [PATCH 1/4] netfs: when subreq is marked for retry, do not check if it faced an error
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 11:51:34 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260120062152.628822-1-sprasad@microsoft.com> (raw)
From: Shyam Prasad N <sprasad@microsoft.com>
The *_subreq_terminated functions today only process the NEED_RETRY
flag when the subreq was successful or failed with EAGAIN error.
However, there could be other retriable errors for network filesystems.
Avoid this by processing the NEED_RETRY irrespective of the error
code faced by the subreq. If it was specifically marked for retry,
the error code must not matter.
