block: rename bio_iov_iter_get_pages_aligned to bio_iov_iter_get_pages

2025-10-07T14:05:44+00:00

Now that the bio_iov_iter_get_pages is free again, use it instead of the more complicated now. Also drop the unused export. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Martin K. Petersen Reviewed-by: Johannes Thumshirn Reviewed-by: Keith Busch Reviewed-by: Qu Wenruo Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: remove bio_iov_iter_get_pages

2025-10-07T14:05:44+00:00

Switch the only caller to bio_iov_iter_get_pages, and explain why it does not have any alignment requirements. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Martin K. Petersen Reviewed-by: Johannes Thumshirn Reviewed-by: Keith Busch Reviewed-by: Qu Wenruo Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

blk-map: provide the bdev to bio if one exists

2025-09-09T16:35:28+00:00

We can now safely provide a block device when extracting user pages for driver and user passthrough commands. Set the bdev so the caller doesn't have to do that later. This has an additional benefit of being able to extract P2P pages in the passthrough path. Signed-off-by: Keith Busch Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: check for valid bio while splitting

2025-09-09T16:27:01+00:00

We're already iterating every segment, so check these for a valid IO lengths at the same time. Individual segment lengths will not be checked on passthrough commands. The read/write command segments must be sized to the dma alignment. Signed-off-by: Keith Busch Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Martin K. Petersen Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: add a bio_init_inline helper

2025-09-09T13:31:59+00:00

Just a simpler wrapper around bio_init for callers that want to initialize a bio with inline bvecs. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: John Garry Reviewed-by: Yu Kuai Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: simplify bio_map_kern

2025-05-07T13:31:07+00:00

Rewrite bio_map_kern using the new bio_add_* helpers and drop the kerneldoc comment that is superfluous for an internal helper.

block: pass the operation to bio_{map,copy}_kern

2025-05-07T13:31:07+00:00

That way the bio can be allocated with the right operation already set and there is no need to pass the separated 'reading' argument.

block: remove the q argument from blk_rq_map_kern

2025-05-07T13:31:07+00:00

Remove the q argument from blk_rq_map_kern and the internal helpers called by it as the queue can trivially be derived from the request.

block: remove blk_rq_bio_prep

There is not real point in a helper just to assign three values to four fields, especially when the surrounding code is working on the neighbor fields directly.
