Re: [RESEND PATCH] nvme: explicitly use normal NVMe error handling when appropriate

["Meneghini, John" <John.Meneghini@netapp.com>]

That works Mike. 

Unfortunately, I have to work with the corporate MS office email handler (which sucks)  and downloading the .patch file works much better for me.

Thanks,

    Maybe because I didn't cc linux-block?
    Only way that I know to "upload this patch there" is to have cc'd
    linux-block.

    But the patch is in dm-devel's patchwork here:
    https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11712563/

    Is that sufficient for your needs?

    Thanks,
    Mike
