Message-Id: <1338521528-2490-2-git-send-email-Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Date: Thu, 31 May 2012 23:32:08 -0400 From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@...app.com> To: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: Linux Kernel mailing list <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, Linux NFS mailing list <linux-nfs@...r.kernel.org>, David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com> Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Define ENONAMESERVICE and ENAMEUNKNOWN to indicate name service errors From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com> Now that the kernel has filesystems (and possibly other services) that want to look up internet addresses corresponding to arbitrary hostnames retrieved from the server, it would seem useful to provide a couple of error codes to indicate problems with the look up, rather than overloading some other error code. Define ENONAMESERVICE to indicate "Network name service unavailable". This can be used to indicate, for example, that an attempt was made by dns_query() to make a query, but the name server (e.g. a DNS server) it is supposed to contact didn't answer or that it couldn't determine the location of a suitable server. Define ENAMEUNKNOWN to indicate "Network name unknown". This can be used to indicate, for example, that an attempt was made by dns_query() to make a query, but the name server (e.g. a DNS server) replied indicating that it had no matching records. The DNS query upcall program can report these to keyctl_reject() so that cached failed queries will respond with these errors until they expire.
