Re: [PATCH 0/3] VME bus error handling overhaul

[Martyn Welch <martyn.welch@ge.com>]

Hi Dmitry,

These are looking good to me.

You mention error handling in relation to vme_master_mmap, am I right in 
thinking patch 3 avoids errors being recorded when triggered by an mmap 
access (so as not to appear as a spurious error on a later access)?

I think it would be worth at least logging errors to the kernel log 
should they be generated and not be handled by a error handler, so 
someone using mmap gets at least some form of notification that their 
accesses are resulting on bus errors. What do you think?
