Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2012 18:04:19 +0200 From: Tomer Margalit <tomermargalit@...il.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Nezer Zaidenberg <nzaidenberg@....com>, tomer Margalit <tomermargalit@...il.com> Subject: Failing a bio right Hi All, I have a make_request function that blocks writes (by using wait_event_interruptible on some event). I want the user to be able to stop the function if it takes too long (that's the reason for the interruptible version). So when the call is interrupted I call bio_endio with the EINTR error to signal the interruption. Usually this works fine, but after a lot of writes, the system says "lost page write due to I/O error on device". At this point the process hangs. Is this the right way to do what I'm trying to do?
