That's why, I preferred not to call the callback when I observe an error which I

think it makes more sense. 
That doesnt make sense. A client set a callback, it expect you to call one.
The result quried maybe txn completed or error. Since you have means, please
report..
If there is a good way to fix tx_status, I can certainly do so. I just need to make
sure my implementation is robust and reliable.

I saw your reply that we need to keep this information around until terminate_all is
called. 

What is a good implementation strategy?

Keep a size limited list with error cookies and flush them in terminate all?

What should I do if code reaches to the size limit?

Size the error cookie list double the size of available descriptors?

Again, it will be a different patch than this one. I think v2 of this patch

needs to go in as it is.

I havent looked at the patch. If it is not invoking callback set by user,
then I am not taking it. Sorry, we dont choose over client's wish.
Ok. The problem you are referring to is something else and needs to be addressed
separately. I can create a series with first implement a reliable tx_status based
on your recommendation above.

Then, change the current behavior so that client callback is always executed as you
requested.

After that this patch to fix the free order.
