Hello Jens, This series contains three patches intended to reduce code duplication and two patches that simplify / optimize I/O priority handling. Please consider these patches for kernel v4.12. Thanks, Bart. Changes compared to v1: - Converted ternary operators into an if/then/else-sequence. - Used EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() to export block layer internals.
