The quilt patch titled
     Subject: ocfs2: cluster: use an on-stack bio for the heartbeat write
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     ocfs2-cluster-use-an-on-stack-bio-for-the-heartbeat-write.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: ocfs2: cluster: use an on-stack bio for the heartbeat write
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 15:17:56 +0800

The disk heartbeat write always covers this node's own single slot, i.e. 
one heartbeat block that lives within a single page.  It is submitted by
o2hb_issue_node_write() and waited on by the caller before the ctxt goes
out of scope, so its lifetime is well bounded.

Turn it into an on-stack bio embedded in struct o2hb_bio_wait_ctxt rather
than allocating one from the mempool.  This removes any allocation from
the fence-critical write path entirely: a delayed or blocked heartbeat
write is what leads to the local node being fenced, so it should not
depend on the state of a shared bio pool.

Because the bio is embedded rather than allocated, add a dedicated
o2hb_write_bio_end_io() that does not call bio_put(), and tear the bio
down with bio_uninit() once the caller has waited on the I/O.

The read path still allocates via o2hb_setup_one_bio() with GFP_NOFS,
since it issues a variable number of bios in a loop.
