Subject: [PATCH 6/7] block: Add documentation for bio iterator macros
Date: Thu, 25 May 2023 17:48:21 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230525214822.2725616-7-kent.overstreet@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230525214822.2725616-1-kent.overstreet@linux.dev>

We've now got 3x2 interfaces for iterating over bios: by page, by bvec,
or by folio, and variants that iterate over what bi_iter points to, or
the entire bio as created by the filesystem/originator.

This adds more detailed kerneldoc comments for each variant.
