[PATCH 31/36] block: interface update for ioc/icq creation functions

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Tue Feb 21 2012 - 20:48:13 EST


Make the following interface updates to prepare for future ioc related
changes.

* create_io_context() returning ioc only works for %current because it
doesn't increment ref on the ioc. Drop @task parameter from it and
always assume %current.

* Make create_io_context_slowpath() return 0 or -errno and rename it
to create_task_io_context().

* Make ioc_create_icq() take @ioc as parameter instead of assuming
that of %current. The caller, get_request(), is updated to create
ioc explicitly and then pass it into ioc_create_icq().
