[PATCH V2 0/1] blk-lib: cleanup bdev_get_queue()

[PATCH V2 0/1] blk-lib: cleanup bdev_get_queue()

[Chaitanya Kulkarni]

Hi,

Based on the comment in the include/linux/blkdev.h:bdev_get_queue()
the return value of the function will never be NULL. This patch series
removes those checks present in the blk-lib.c, also removes the not
needed local variable pointer to request_queue from the write_zeroes
helpers.

Below is the test log for  discard (__blkdev_issue_disacrd()) and
write-zeroes (__blkdev_issue_write_zeroes/__blkdev_issue_zero_pages()).

-ck

1. squash all patches into single patch. (Jens)

[PATCH V2 1/1] blk-lib: don't check bdev_get_queue() NULL check

[Chaitanya Kulkarni]

Based on the comment present in the bdev_get_queue()
bdev->bd_queue can never be NULL. Remove the NULL check for the local
variable q that is set from bdev_get_queue() for discard, write_same,
and write_zeroes.
