Subject: [PATCH 00/13] block: assorted cleanup for bio splitting and cloning.
Date: Tue, 02 May 2017 13:42:23 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <149369628671.5146.4865312503373040039.stgit@noble> (raw)

This is a revision of my series of patches working
towards removing the bioset work queues.

This set is based on Linus' tree as for today (2nd May) plus
the for-linus branch from Shaohua's md/raid tree.

This series adds a fix for the new lightnvm/pblk-read code
and discards bioset_create_nobvec() in favor of a flag arg to
bioset_create().  There are also minor fixes and a little
code clean-up.

I hope to eventually get rid of the new BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER flag,
but that needs work ing dm and probably bcache first.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

      blk: use non-rescuing bioset for q->bio_split.
      block: Improvements to bounce-buffer handling
      rbd: use bio_clone_fast() instead of bio_clone()
      drbd: use bio_clone_fast() instead of bio_clone()
      pktcdvd: use bio_clone_fast() instead of bio_clone()
      lightnvm/pblk-read: use bio_clone_fast()
      xen-blkfront: remove bio splitting.
      bcache: use kmalloc to allocate bio in bch_data_verify()
