I like the change, hate the naming. I'd prefer one of two things: - Add bio_endio_complete() instead. That name sucks too, the important part is flipping the __name() to have a trace version instead. - Mark the bio as trace completed, and keep the naming. Since it's only off the completion path, that can be just marking the bi_flags non-atomically. I probably prefer the latter. -- Jens Axboe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-block" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
