Hey,

I didn't fully understand the question. The specific issue I'm hitting is
that if a scsi/nvme device returns SAM_STAT_RESERVATION_CONFLICT/
NVME_SC_RESERVATION_CONFLICT then in lio I need to be able to detect that
and return SAM_STAT_RESERVATION_CONFLICT. So I only care about
-EBADE/BLK_STS_NEXUS right now. So are you asking about -EBADE?

Do you mean I could have sd_pr_out_command return -EBADE when it gets
a SAM_STAT_RESERVATION_CONFLICT (nvme would do the equivalent). Then in
lio do:

ret = ops->pr_register()
if (ret == -EBADE)
	return SAM_STAT_RESERVATION_CONFLICT;

The problem I hit is that in the ioctl code I then have to do:

+		else if (bdev_is_scsi(bdev)
+			ret = SAM_STAT_RESERVATION_CONFLICT;
+	}
+	return ret;
 }
 

or I could convert the scsi/nvme or code to always use BLK_STS errors.
In LIO I can easily check for BLK_STS_NEXUS like with the -EBADE example. In
the ioctl code then for common errors I can go from BLK_STS using the
blk_status_to_errno helper. However, for some scsi/nvme specific errors we
would want to do:
