Hi, I have updated and reworked bio traversal patch. Main idea is now reversed - instead of introducing rq->hard_bio as pointer for bio to be completed and using rq->bio as pointer for bio to be submitted, rq->cbio is introduced for submissions and rq->bio is used for completions. This minimizes changes to block layer and assures that all existing block users are not affected by this patch. Please check it and forward to Linus, or tell what changes you need to find this code acceptable. -- Bartlomiej
