Hi, This patchset cleans up direct access to bvec table. The 1st patch passes bvec table to bio_init(), so that direct access to bvec table in bio initialization is avoided. For other patches, most of them uses bio_add_page() to replace hardcode style of adding page to bvec, and others avoids to access bio->bi_vcnt. The most special one is to use bvec iterator helpers to implement .get_page/.next_page for dm-io.c One big motivation is to prepare for supporting multipage bvec, but this patchset is one good cleanup too even not for that purpose.
I've added the series, except 6-8, the dm parts. I updated some of the descriptions/subjects to read a little better. -- Jens Axboe -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
