Hi Jens, this series does some refactoring and then adds support to return errors from add_disk (rebasing a patch from Luis). I think that alone is a huge improvement as it leaves a disk for which add_disk failed in a defined status, but the real improvement will be actually handling the errors in the drivers. This series contains two trivial conversions. Luis has a tree with conversions for all drivers in the tree, which will be fed incrementally once this goes in. Hopefully we can convert all the commonly used drivers in this merge window.Applied, thanks.
Do you have a branch published which has this by any chance? I checked but can't see anything obvious. Luis
