From 7494d00c7b826b6ceb79ec33892bd0ef59be5614 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Sun, 24 Apr 2011 14:28:45 -0400 Subject: SUNRPC: Allow RPC calls to return ETIMEDOUT instead of EIO On occasion, it is useful for the NFS layer to distinguish between soft timeouts and other EIO errors due to (say) encoding errors, or authentication errors. The following patch ensures that the default behaviour of the RPC layer remains to return EIO on soft timeouts (until we have audited all the callers).
