Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] errseq: add a new errseq_scrape function
Date:   Tue, 10 Jul 2018 10:01:25 -0400
Message-Id: <20180710140127.20739-3-jlayton@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <20180710140127.20739-1-jlayton@kernel.org>
References: <20180710140127.20739-1-jlayton@kernel.org>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>

To grab the current value of an errseq_t, mark it as seen and then
return the value with the seen bit masked off.
