Subject: [PATCH V2 1/2] block: move bio queue-transition flag fixups into blk_steal_bios()
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 19:12:42 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226031243.87200-2-kch@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260226031243.87200-1-kch@nvidia.com>
blk_steal_bios() transfers bios from a request to a bio_list when the
request is requeued to a different queue. The NVMe multipath failover
path (nvme_failover_req) currently open-codes clearing of REQ_POLLED,
bi_cookie, and REQ_NOWAIT on each bio before calling blk_steal_bios().
Move these fixups into blk_steal_bios() itself so that any caller
automatically gets correct flag state when bios cross queue boundaries.
Simplify nvme_failover_req() accordingly.
