From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jens Axboe Subject: [PATCH 03/18] block: add bio_set_polled() helper Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2019 14:35:23 -0700 Message-ID: <20190128213538.13486-4-axboe@kernel.dk> References: <20190128213538.13486-1-axboe@kernel.dk> Return-path: In-Reply-To: <20190128213538.13486-1-axboe@kernel.dk> Sender: owner-linux-aio@kvack.org To: linux-aio@kvack.org, linux-block@vger.kernel.org, linux-man@vger.kernel.org, linux-api@vger.kernel.org Cc: hch@lst.de, jmoyer@redhat.com, avi@scylladb.com, Jens Axboe List-Id: linux-man@vger.kernel.org For the upcoming async polled IO, we can't sleep allocating requests. If we do, then we introduce a deadlock where the submitter already has async polled IO in-flight, but can't wait for them to complete since polled requests must be active found and reaped. Utilize the helper in the blockdev DIRECT_IO code.
