[Devel] [PATCH VZ9 0/7] vhost-blk: assortment of fixes

[Andrey Zhadchenko]

This series mainly addresses the handling of failing requests.
Previously the driver will always retry all requests failed at
processing and will always complete the requests if they are
past bio submission point.

Using vhost-net and vhost-scsi as a model, we adopt the following
approach:
 - requests failed at processing phase with ENOMEM/EAGAIN are re-tried
 - requests failed at processing phase with other errors are not
reported completed and are not processed further. It is higly likely
they are just incorrect
 - requests failed at status write after the completion are not
reported completed

This may sometime lead to guests stalling, but the alternatives are
always worse.

Also the patchset improves logging and adds a few sanity checks.
