Hi Luis,

Thank you for having done this work. Since triggering error paths can be
challenging, how about adding fault injection capabilities that make it
possible to trigger all modified error paths and how about adding
blktests that trigger these paths? That is the strategy that I followed
myself recently to fix an error path in blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs().

Thanks,

Bart.
