Yes, I will do in next series.

Ah, right. BTW, as I pointed in the covermail, should we store the
expected error value range into the injectable list? e.g.

ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION(open_ctree, -1, -MAX_ERRNO)

And provide APIs to check/get it.

const struct error_range *ei_get_error_range(unsigned long addr);

Thank you, I'll fix some errors came from configurations, and resend it.


Thanks!
