[RFC PATCH 05/28] block: Skip dma-direct bios in bio_integrity_prep()

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

 



The block layer will not be able to handle integrity for dma-direct
bios seeing it does not have access to the underlying data.

If users of dma-direct require integrity, they will have to handle it
in the layer creating the bios. This is left as future work should
somebody care about handling such a case.

Thus, bio_integrity_prep() should ignore dma-direct bios.
