Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 05/17] block: add bio_alloc_atomic() for atomic bio users
Date: Sun,  5 Jul 2026 03:51:12 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260704195124.1375075-6-yukuai@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260704195124.1375075-1-yukuai@kernel.org>

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai@fygo.io>

Add bio_alloc_atomic() for callers that need a GFP_ATOMIC bio from the
default bio set but cannot safely pass a bdev during allocation. The
helper returns an unattached bio, leaving callers to set bi_bdev and
attach blkcg state explicitly before submission.

Use the helper for virtio-pmem flush child bios and OCFS2 heartbeat I/O.
Both allocate bios from atomic paths and must avoid creating missing blkgs
once blkg creation is protected by q->blkcg_mutex. virtio-pmem clones the
parent bio's blkg association; OCFS2 binds heartbeat I/O to the root blkg.
