Since I think it's *worth* making it use existing APIs, I submit patches doing it. Actually I've submitted them to maintainers and commiters about 10 times for 4 months, but they seem to be too busy to review or take them. Of course you might be even busier, but it would be appriciated if you do that instead. It might not take your time much since they are simple. Patches worked on scheduler, irq_work, vhost/scsi and raid are already taken by proper maintainers. For now, only ones for bcache, mm, fput and namespace remain. Thank you, Byungchul
