[PATCH 1/2] null_blk: remove hardcoded alloc_cmd() parameter

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Only caller of alloc_cmd() is null_submit_bio() unconditionally sets
second parameter to true & that is statically hard-coded in null_blk.
There is no point in having statically hardcoded function parameter.

Remove the unnecessary parameter can_wait and adjust the code so it
can retain existing behavior of waiting when we don't get valid
nullb_cmd from __alloc_cmd() in alloc_cmd().

The restructured code avoids multiple return statements, multiple
calls to __alloc_cmd() and resulting a fast path call to
prepare_to_wait() due to removal of first alloc_cmd() call.
