Subject: [PATCH 1/2] block: document BLK_STS_AGAIN usage
Date: Tue, 24 May 2022 07:56:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220524055631.85480-2-hare@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220524055631.85480-1-hare@suse.de>

BLK_STS_AGAIN should only be used if RQF_NOWAIT is set and the bio
would block. So we'd better document that to avoid accidental misuse.
