Sorry, I had one late nit-picky thought tonight I thought I'd suggest:

It might be better to store bi_status in a local variable instead of the
much more specific p2pdma_error value. I think this would read a lot
better, make the intent a little more clear and be reusable if other
bi_status conditions need to be handled specially.

Thanks,
