    block: WARN in __blk_put_request() for potential bio leak

    Put a WARN_ON in __blk_put_request if it is about to
    leak bio(s). This is a serious bug that can happen in error
    handling code paths.

    For this to work I have fixed a couple of places in block/ where
    request->bio != NULL ownership was not honored. And a small cleanup
    at sg_io() while at it.


With 2.6.30-rc, BSG SMP requests get the following warnings:

WARNING: at block/blk-core.c:1068 __blk_put_request+0x52/0xc0()

However, this is false. There is no bio leak wrt BSG SMP
requests. Probably the better fix is calling blk_end_request_all() in
the BSG SMP path.

blk_end_request_all() is not very useful for the BSG SMP path (we call
it to just unlink rq->bio) however calling blk_end_request_all() in
all bio users is consistent.

blk_end_request_all() is not available in 2.6.30-rc so seems that the
simplest fix is removing WARN_ON for now.
