have you seen (bch,bch2)_bio_map? it's a nicer interface than your bio_add_vmalloc(), and also handles the if (is_vmalloc_addr()) bio_vmalloc_max_vecs() is good, though > > Diffstat: > block/bio.c | 57 ++++++++++++++++++++++ > block/blk-map.c | 108 > ++++++++++++++++-------------------------- > drivers/block/pktcdvd.c | 2 > drivers/block/rnbd/rnbd-srv.c | 7 -- > drivers/block/ublk_drv.c | 3 - > drivers/block/virtio_blk.c | 4 - > drivers/md/bcache/super.c | 3 - > drivers/md/dm-bufio.c | 2 > drivers/md/dm-integrity.c | 16 ++---- > drivers/nvme/host/core.c | 2 > drivers/scsi/scsi_ioctl.c | 2 > drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c | 3 - > fs/btrfs/scrub.c | 10 --- > fs/gfs2/ops_fstype.c | 24 +++------ > fs/hfsplus/wrapper.c | 46 +++-------------- > fs/xfs/xfs_bio_io.c | 30 ++++------- > fs/xfs/xfs_buf.c | 27 +++------- > fs/zonefs/super.c | 34 ++++--------- > include/linux/bio.h | 39 ++++++++++++++- > include/linux/blk-mq.h | 4 - > kernel/power/swap.c | 103 +++++++++++++++++----------------------- > 21 files changed, 253 insertions(+), 273 deletions(-)
