A bio is always fully initialized, regardless of which internal allocator it came from. If people are doing private kmallocs, then they better be using bio_init() as well.

Will get this reverted for 3.9 final, so we have some time to investigate. -- Jens Axboe -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
