remove the bi_inline_vecs field struct bio

remove the bi_inline_vecs field struct bio

[Christoph Hellwig]

Hi Jens,

the bi_inline_vecs causes sparse to warn when a bio is embedded into a
structure, but not the last member.   This is a bit annoying but
probably not a big.  But it can be easily fixed by just removing the
member and doing pointer arithmetics in a helper, so do that.

[PATCH 1/2] block: add a bio_init_inline helper

[Christoph Hellwig]

Just a simpler wrapper around bio_init for callers that want to
initialize a bio with inline bvecs.

I suppose that a WARN_ON(max_vecs > BIO_MAX_INLINE_VECS) could be added, 
but I don't think that we generally protect against such self-inflicted

It's not needed because there isn't actually any such limit.
BIO_MAX_INLINE_VECS is misnamed and misguided.  Various places in the
block layer require non-passthrough bios to not have more vectors than
BIO_MAX_VECS, while BIO_MAX_INLINE_VECS is a random upper bound for
passthrough I/O without a deeper meaning.

[PATCH 2/2] block: remove the bi_inline_vecs variable sized array from struct bio

[Christoph Hellwig]

Bios are embedded into other structures, and at least spare is unhappy
about embedding structures with variable sized arrays.  There's no
real need to the array anyway, we can replace it with a helper pointing
to the memory just behind the bio, and with the previous cleanups there
is very few site doing anything special with it.

this seems a common pattern, so maybe another helper (which could be 
used by bio_kmalloc)? I am not advocating it, but just putting the idea 
out there... too many helpers makes it messy IMHO

Not sure how to do this, do you mean a marco to pass in the base
structure type, nr_vecs and the gfp_mask?

something like the following (which I think is messy and an imprecise 
API, so again I am not advocating it):

struct bio *bio_kmalloc(unsigned short nr_vecs, gfp_t gfp_mask)
{
	return kmalloc(sizeof(struct bio) + nr_vecs * sizeof(struct bio_vec),
gfp_mask);
}

struct bio *bio_kmalloc_inline(unsigned short nr_vecs, gfp_t gfp_mask)
{
	if (nr_vecs > BIO_MAX_INLINE_VECS)
		return NULL;
	return bio_kmalloc(nr_vecs, gfp_mask);
}

However, the caller is allocating the base structure that bio is
embedded, the above helper to return bio is still not common.

Perhaps this patch is better anyway.

It's not a very common pattern, and should be even less common.
If a driver / file system wants to embed a bio into its own structure
but dynamically allocate the bio_vecs, it can simply use kmalloc_array,
or add a bio_vec VLA to its own structure and use struct_size on that.

Yes.
