[RFC][PATCH 1/10] I/O context inheritance

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Make every bio points the iocontext of the process which originally
generated an I/O request. 
 - Assign the iocontext of the current process to a bio when it is
   newly allocated.
 - Assign the iocontext which the source bio has to a newly allocated
   bio when it is duplicated.
