APIs to submit bios at block layer

[KASHISH BHATIA <kashish.bhatia1989@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Could anyone explain the difference between submit_bio() and generic_make_request() ?

How they are different in functionality?

How lower layers treat bios submitted via submit_bio() / generic_make_request() ?

When is it preferable to use api generic_make_request() than submit_bio() api?
