[dm-devel] [PATCH 04/17] block: split bio_kmalloc from bio_alloc_bioset

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>]

bio_kmalloc shares almost no logic with the bio_set based fast path
in bio_alloc_bioset.  Split it into an entirely separate implementation.

- * Description:
- *   If @bs is NULL, uses kmalloc() to allocate the bio; else the allocation is
- *   backed by the @bs's mempool.

  *
- *   When @bs is not NULL, if %__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is set then bio_alloc will
- *   always be able to allocate a bio. This is due to the mempool guarantees.
- *   To make this work, callers must never allocate more than 1 bio at a time
- *   from this pool. Callers that need to allocate more than 1 bio must always
- *   submit the previously allocated bio for IO before attempting to allocate
- *   a new one. Failure to do so can cause deadlocks under memory pressure.

+ * Callers that need to allocate more than 1 bio must always submit the

+ * Failure to do so can cause deadlocks under memory pressure.
  *
- *   Note that when running under submit_bio_noacct() (i.e. any block
- *   driver), bios are not submitted until after you return - see the code in
- *   submit_bio_noacct() that converts recursion into iteration, to prevent

  *
- *   This would normally mean allocating multiple bios under
- *   submit_bio_noacct() would be susceptible to deadlocks, but we have
- *   deadlock avoidance code that resubmits any blocked bios from a rescuer
