If the io priority has been set, the ioc would exist anyway. void bio_set_prio_from_current(struct bio *bio) { struct io_context *ioc = current->io_context; if (ioc && ioprio_valid(ioc->ioprio)) bio_set_prio(bio, ioc->ioprio); } and rename it like so. I don't like passing in the task, and all the users are 'current' anyway. Passing in a task_struct implies that we could have looked it up and would need a reference to it. And don't make it pass in bio == NULL, that's just odd. Apart from that, looks fine ;-) -- Jens Axboe
