I think this is the wrong level of interface. I think dm should just submit the bios directly, which will also allow it to use bio_chain properly instead of needing the inc_remaining hack. Instead export helpers that properly split up the discard chunk sectors without touching the bio itself. And with bio split on demand work even that will hopefully go away soon. -- 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/
