But I have some comments.

This is just crap code that sets the bi_next pointers to what they were before. But in the case where blk_queue_bounce() decides to return a new cloned bio, we will get a short list and not hang all BIOs on the request list. BUT since this is an old BUG not introduced here I don't care. (See ACK above) The only case where this can hit with current bidi supporting devices is in 32bit & highmem. But I suspect last I tested many years ago that 32bit is not supported because of some other bugs. Open coding for_each_bio() or introducing for_each_bio_safe would fix this: while(bio) { struct bio *bounce_bio = bio; blk_queue_bounce(req->q, &bounce_bio); ret = blk_rq_append_bio(req, bounce_bio); if (ret) return ERR_PTR(ret); bio = bio->bi_next; } > + if (ret) > + return ERR_PTR(ret); > } > + > + return req; > } > Thanks Boaz > static int _init_blk_request(struct osd_request *or, > diff --git a/include/linux/blkdev.h b/include/linux/blkdev.h > index 998fbe0..8a984a7 100644 > --- a/include/linux/blkdev.h > +++ b/include/linux/blkdev.h > @@ -787,8 +787,6 @@ extern void blk_rq_init(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq); > extern void blk_put_request(struct request *); > extern void __blk_put_request(struct request_queue *, struct request *); > extern struct request *blk_get_request(struct request_queue *, int, gfp_t); > -extern struct request *blk_make_request(struct request_queue *, struct bio *, > - gfp_t); > extern void blk_requeue_request(struct request_queue *, struct request *); > extern void blk_add_request_payload(struct request *rq, struct page *page, > int offset, unsigned int len); >
