[PATCH 2/2 v2] block: defer the use of inline biovecs for discard requests

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

 



Don't alloc discard bio with a biovec in blkdev_issue_discard.  Doing so
means bio_has_data() will not be true until the SCSI layer adds the
payload to the discard request via blk_add_request_payload.

This patch avoids the need for the following VM accounting fix for
discards: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/23/361
NOTE: Jens, you said you applied Tao Ma's fix but I cannot see it in
your linux-2.6-block's for-next or for-2.6.36... as such I didn't revert
it in this patch.
