Subject: [PATCH] mm: bio_alloc never fails when set GFP_NOIO, GFP_KERNEL
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2020 11:11:28 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201021031128.14100-1-tian.xianting@h3c.com> (raw)
bio_alloc with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM(which is included in GFP_NOIO,
GFP_KERNEL) never fails, as stated in the comments of bio_alloc_bioset.
So we can remove multiple unneeded null checks of bio_alloc and simplify
the code.
We have done it in fs/ext4/readpage.c, fs/ext4/page-io.c, fs/direct-io.c,
and so forth.
