Maybe we can compare the returned status to BLK_STS_OK. But I see we
don't do it also in NVMe subsystem so I guess we can assume BLK_STS_OK
== 0 forever.

Jens/Christoph, any thoughts on that ?


Anyway Looks good.

Thanks for the fix,

Jes, BLK_STS_OK == 0 is an intentional allowed short cut. It is not
just a block layer design, but part of how the sparse __bitwise__
annotations work.
