We will support multipage bvec soon, so initialize bvec
table using the standardy way instead of writing the
talbe directly. Otherwise it won't work any more once
multipage bvec is enabled.

It seems to me like these callsites also should use bio_init
instead of bio_reset to get a clean slate (and eventually
phase out bio_reset), which should probably got into
the helper as well.  E.g. instead of pretending to preserve
things we should simply build a new bio here.

I really don't think this is a good idea.
This code is specific to raid1/raid10.  It is not generic md code.  So
it doesn't belong here.

If you want to remove code duplication, then work on moving all raid1
functionality into raid10.c, then discard raid1.c

Or at the very least, have a separate "raid1-10.c" file for the common
code.

We already added 'struct resync_pages' in drivers/md/md.h, so I think
it is reasonable to add this function into drivers/md/md.c

This patch is for avoiding new code duplication, not for removing current
duplication.

You suggested it last time, but looks too overkill to be taken. But if
someone wants to refactor raid1 and raid10, I think it can be a good start,
but still not belong to this patch.

At least for resetting bvec table, bio_reset() is enough, so
I think changing to bio_init() should belong to another topic, :-)

Alternative perspective: it was unreasonable to add "resync_pages" to
md.h.

You are trying to create common code for raid1 and raid10.  This does
not belong in md.c.
If you really want to have a single copy of common code, then it exactly
is the role of this patch to create a place to put it.
I'm not saying you should put all common code in raid1-10.c.   Just the
function that you have identified.

I really don't want to waste time on this kind of thing, I can do
either one frankly.

Shaohua, could you share me which way you like to merge? I can do it in
either way.

I don't have strong preference, but Neil's suggestion does make the code a
little better. Of course, only put the function into the raid1-10.c right now.

To make it as easy as possible, I would suggest creating raid1-10.c
containing just this function (and maybe the definitions from md.h),
and declare the function "static" and #include raid1-10.c into raid1.c
and raid10.c.  i.e. no worrying about modules and exporting symbols.

Anyone who cares (and that might even be me) could move functionality
gradually out of raid1.c and raid10.c in raid1-10.c.  Maybe where would
come a tipping-point where it is easy to just discard raid1.c and raid10.c
and finish the job.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
