Subject: [PATCH 000 of 5] Introductory patches for bio refactor.
Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2007 15:13:25 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070816150445.30843.patches@notabene> (raw)
Hi Jens,
I wonder if you would accept these patches the block layer.
They are, as far as I can tell, quite uncontroversial and provide
good cleanups.
The first is a minor bug-fix.
The next to replace helper function that take a bio (always the first
bio of a request), to instead take a request.
The last two combine to replace rq_for_each_bio with
rq_for_each_segment which makes blk_recalc_rq_segments a lot
cleaner, and improves (to a lesser degree) every other place that
used rq_for_each_bio.
The net result is a decrease in object code size (for my x86-64 compile)
for block/built-in.o of 96 bytes, though there is some growth out in
drivers making and over-all decrease of only 48 bytes.
Thanks,
NeilBrown
