[PATCH] catch error when completing bio pairs

From: Mike Christie
Date: Tue Mar 23 2004 - 02:21:12 EST


A couple of drivers can sometimes fail the first
segments in a bio then requeue the rest of the request. In this
situation, if the last part of the bio completes successfully
bio_pair_end_* will miss that the beginging of the bio had
failed becuase they just return one when bi_size is not yet
zero. The attached patch moves the error value test before
the bi_size to catch the above case.
