And this is where my patch set uses it. Can you recommend a better way how to access this algorithm, without making dm_mod.ko or dm- mpath.ko depend on scsi_mod.ko, and without open-coding it independently in a different code path? The sg_io-on-multipath code needs to answer the question "is this a path or a target error?". Therefore it calls blk_path_error(), which requires obtaining a blk_status_t first. But that's not available in the sg_io code path. So how should I deal with this situation? The first approach - inlining scsi_result_to_blk_status() - has been rejected before.
