[PATCH 3/4] block: add bioset_nobvec_create()

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

 



Users of bio_clone_fast() do not need its own bvecs.
Allocating bvec mempool for such users is waste of memory.

This variant allows them to create bioset without bvec mempool.
