This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled block: split bio_kmalloc from bio_alloc_bioset to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: block-split-bio_kmalloc-from-bio_alloc_bioset.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 3175199ab0ac8c874ec25c6bf169f74888917435 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2021 15:52:34 +0100 Subject: block: split bio_kmalloc from bio_alloc_bioset From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> commit 3175199ab0ac8c874ec25c6bf169f74888917435 upstream. bio_kmalloc shares almost no logic with the bio_set based fast path in bio_alloc_bioset. Split it into an entirely separate implementation.
