From f421e1d9ade4e1b88183e54425cf50e390d16a7f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2017 21:29:50 +0300 Subject: block: provide a direct_make_request helper MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This helper allows reinserting a bio into a new queue without much overhead, but requires all queue limits to be the same for the upper and lower queues, and it does not provide any recursion preventions.
