Subject: [v2 for-next 1/3] block: reject unknown status tags in error injection rules
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2026 03:20:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260830012002.80275-2-haris.iqbal@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260830012002.80275-1-haris.iqbal@linux.dev>

tag_to_blk_status() returns BLK_STS_OK both for the "OK" tag and for a
tag it does not recognise, so a caller cannot tell the two apart.
match_status() leaves *status at BLK_STS_OK for an unknown tag and relies
on error_inject_add() rejecting BLK_STS_OK.

That holds only while a rule without a status is meaningless.  The delay
option added next makes such a rule valid, and "OK" is what
blk_error_injection_show() prints for one, so the two cases have to be
told apart.  Return the status through a pointer and report an unknown
tag as -EINVAL.  There is no spare blk_status_t to encode "not found" in:
every value in the table has a tag that can be typed, and anything
outside the table trips the WARN_ON_ONCE() in blk_status_to_str(),
blk_status_to_tag() and blk_status_to_errno().

For a single status= this does not change behaviour: an unknown tag still
fails the write with -EINVAL.  A repeated status= where an invalid tag
comes first is now rejected instead of being overridden by the later one.
