[PATCH 0/9] Prep work for immutable bio vecs

From: Kent Overstreet
Date: Fri Sep 07 2012 - 18:59:32 EST


Random assortment of refactoring and trivial cleanups.

Immutable bio vecs and efficient bio splitting require auditing and removing
pretty much all bi_idx uses, among other things.

The reason is that with immutable bio vecs we can't use the bvec array
directly; if we have a partially completed bvec, that'll be indicated with a
field in struct bvec_iter (which gets embedded in struct bio) - bi_bvec_done.

bio_for_each_segments() will handle this transparently, so code needs to be
converted to use it or some other generic accessor.

Also, bio splitting means that when a driver gets a bio, bi_idx and
bi_bvec_done may both be nonzero. Again, just need to use generic accessors.

Kent Overstreet (9):
block: Convert integrity to bvec_alloc_bs(), and a bugfix
block: Add bio_advance()
block: Refactor blk_update_request()
md: Convert md_trim_bio() to use bio_advance()
block: Add bio_end()
block: Use bio_sectors() more consistently
block: Don't use bi_idx in bio_split() or require it to be 0
block: Remove bi_idx references
block: Remove some unnecessary bi_vcnt usage
