Another prep work thing - in current code, it isn't really wrong (slightly inconsistent though). But the idea is that anything that doesn't own the bio shouldn't assume anything about bi_idx; the bounce code should loop over the bio starting from wherever it was when the bio got to the bounce code, not the start of the bio. A later patch makes this clearer - __bio_for_each_segment() gets removed in favor of bio_for_each_segment_all(), and it documents that bio_for_each_segment_all() is only for code that owns the bio. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
