This looks reasonable, a couple questions and comments: - why the 8 * BIO_MAX_PAGES in the call to iov_iter_npages, that probably needs a comment - I'll probably need to write up a proper changelog and fold in at least the multi_bio patch. - I'd just return the op from dio_bio_set_write_op instead of passing the bio, that reads a lot easier. - I should probably get rid of blkdev_dio_pool in favour of bio_kmalloc I can look into doing these fixups this afternoon and prepare a tre for you. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-block" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
