Subject: [PATCH v2 16/40] afs: Simplify error handling
Date:   Wed, 13 Dec 2023 13:49:38 +0000
Message-ID: <20231213135003.367397-17-dhowells@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To: <20231213135003.367397-1-dhowells@redhat.com>
References: <20231213135003.367397-1-dhowells@redhat.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Precedence: bulk

Simplify error handling a bit by moving it from the afs_addr_cursor struct
to the afs_operation and afs_vl_cursor structs and using the error
prioritisation function for accumulating errors from multiple sources (AFS
tries to rotate between multiple fileservers, some of which may be
inaccessible or in some state of offlinedness).
