From 27a84d54c02591e815d291ae0ee4bfb9cfd21065 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2011 14:01:40 +0200 Subject: block: refactor generic_make_request Move all the checks performed on a bio into a new helper, and call it as soon as bio is submitted even if it is a re-submission from ->make_request. We explicitly mark the new helper as beeing non-inlined as the stack usage for printing the block device name in the failure case is quite high and this a patch where we have to be extremely conservative about stack usage.
