I also don't think the error path here should go hrough the bio for error handling but just do a put and return the error. > + if (iov_iter_rw(iter) == READ) { > + bio->bi_opf = REQ_OP_READ; > + if (iter_is_iovec(iter)) { > + dio->flags |= DIO_SHOULD_DIRTY; > + bio_set_pages_dirty(bio); > + } > + } else { > + bio->bi_opf = dio_bio_write_op(iocb); > + task_io_account_write(bio->bi_iter.bi_size); > + } > + > + if (iocb->ki_flags & IOCB_NOWAIT) > + bio->bi_opf |= REQ_NOWAIT; This code is entirely duplicated, pleae move it into an (inline) helper. > + /* > + * Don't plug for HIPRI/polled IO, as those should go straight > + * to issue > + */ This comment seems misplaced as the function does not use plugging at all.
