block: move ->make_request_fn to struct block_device_operations

2020-07-01T13:27:24+00:00

The make_request_fn is a little weird in that it sits directly in struct request_queue instead of an operation vector. Replace it with a block_device_operations method called submit_bio (which describes much better what it does). Also remove the request_queue argument to it, as the queue can be derived pretty trivially from the bio. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

docs: block: convert to ReST

Rename the block documentation files to ReST, add an index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html output via the Sphinx build system. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab
