Subject: [RFC for-next 1/3] block: reject unknown status tags in error injection rules
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 02:01:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260827000115.128093-2-haris.iqbal@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260827000115.128093-1-haris.iqbal@linux.dev>

An unknown status tag leaves *status at BLK_STS_OK, which
error_inject_add() then rejects.  Fail in match_status() instead, so that
rejecting a bad tag does not rely on BLK_STS_OK being invalid for a rule.

For a single status= this does not change behaviour: an unknown tag still
fails the write with -EINVAL.  A repeated status= where an invalid tag
comes first is now rejected instead of being overridden by the later one.
