I was looking at the code and the original code kind of makes sence.
According to the comment, error blocks are not put the LRU ring,
so they should not be unlinked (as it's done inside the if).
Are you sure that error blocks are in the LRU ring?
How did you conclude that?
I looked at the code in unreg_request() just before the above code
and it clearly doesn't link blocks with BLOCK_ERROR into the LRU ring.
