Hi Jens, I wonder if you would accept these patches the block layer. They are, as far as I can tell, quite uncontroversial and provide good cleanups.
The first is a minor bug-fix. The next to replace helper function that take a bio (always the first bio of a request), to instead take a request. The last two combine to replace rq_for_each_bio with rq_for_each_segment which makes blk_recalc_rq_segments a lot cleaner, and improves (to a lesser degree) every other place that used rq_for_each_bio. The net result is a decrease in object code size (for my x86-64 compile) for block/built-in.o of 96 bytes, though there is some growth out in drivers making and over-all decrease of only 48 bytes. Thanks, NeilBrown [PATCH 001 of 5] Don't update bi_hw_*_size if we aren't going to merge.
