Hi Jens, this series moves the make_request_fn method into block_device_operations with the much more descriptive ->submit_bio name. It then also gives generic_make_request a more descriptive name, and further optimize the path to issue to blk-mq, removing the need for the direct_make_request bypass. Changes since v1: - fix a null pointer dereference when dispatching from bio to request based drivers - clean up a few more comments Diffstat: Documentation/block/biodoc.rst | 2 Documentation/block/writeback_cache_control.rst | 2 Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.rst | 2 Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst | 4 arch/m68k/emu/nfblock.c | 8 arch/xtensa/platforms/iss/simdisk.c | 9 block/bio.c | 14 - block/blk-cgroup.c | 2 block/blk-core.c | 255 +++++++++------------- block/blk-crypto-fallback.c | 2 block/blk-crypto.c | 2 block/blk-merge.c | 23 - block/blk-mq.c | 12 - block/blk-throttle.c | 4 block/blk.h | 5 block/bounce.c | 2 drivers/block/brd.c | 5 drivers/block/drbd/drbd_int.h | 8 drivers/block/drbd/drbd_main.c | 12 - drivers/block/drbd/drbd_receiver.c | 2 drivers/block/drbd/drbd_req.c | 8 drivers/block/drbd/drbd_worker.c | 2 drivers/block/null_blk_main.c | 19 + drivers/block/pktcdvd.c | 15 - drivers/block/ps3vram.c | 20 - drivers/block/rsxx/dev.c | 14 - drivers/block/umem.c | 11 drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c | 14 - drivers/lightnvm/core.c | 8 drivers/lightnvm/pblk-init.c | 16 - drivers/lightnvm/pblk-read.c | 2 drivers/md/bcache/bcache.h | 2 drivers/md/bcache/btree.c | 2 drivers/md/bcache/request.c | 11 drivers/md/bcache/request.h | 4 drivers/md/bcache/super.c | 24 +- drivers/md/dm-cache-target.c | 6 drivers/md/dm-clone-target.c | 10 drivers/md/dm-crypt.c | 6 drivers/md/dm-delay.c | 2 drivers/md/dm-era-target.c | 2 drivers/md/dm-integrity.c | 4 drivers/md/dm-mpath.c | 2 drivers/md/dm-raid1.c | 2 drivers/md/dm-snap-persistent.c | 2 drivers/md/dm-snap.c | 6 drivers/md/dm-thin.c | 4 drivers/md/dm-verity-target.c | 2 drivers/md/dm-writecache.c | 2 drivers/md/dm-zoned-target.c | 2 drivers/md/dm.c | 41 +-- drivers/md/md-faulty.c | 4 drivers/md/md-linear.c | 4 drivers/md/md-multipath.c | 4 drivers/md/md.c | 7 drivers/md/raid0.c | 8 drivers/md/raid1.c | 14 - drivers/md/raid10.c | 28 +- drivers/md/raid5.c | 10 drivers/nvdimm/blk.c | 5 drivers/nvdimm/btt.c | 5 drivers/nvdimm/pmem.c | 5 drivers/nvme/host/core.c | 1 drivers/nvme/host/multipath.c | 18 - drivers/nvme/host/nvme.h | 1 drivers/s390/block/dcssblk.c | 11 drivers/s390/block/xpram.c | 8 fs/buffer.c | 5 include/linux/blk-mq.h | 2 include/linux/blkdev.h | 12 - include/linux/lightnvm.h | 3 71 files changed, 387 insertions(+), 408 deletions(-)
