The original description should use "error-stopped state recovery" term instead of simple "error recovery". And standard based handling of error-stopped states was added.

Other switches do not have similar function and have to rely on standard implementation. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
