+#define EPROBE_DEFER 517 ? ? /* restart probe again after some time */Can we really do this?
According to Arnd, yes this is okay.

What's wrong with just "overloading" on top of an existing error code? Surely one of the other 516 types could be used here, right?
overloading makes it really hard to find the users at a later date.
Would proposing '#define EPROBE_DEFER EAGAIN' be acceptable to everybody? That would allow overloading EAGAIN, but still make it easy to tell the usages apart if we need to separate them later... -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
