[PATCH 03/13] block: misc ioc cleanups

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Tue Oct 25 2011 - 21:48:55 EST


* int return from put_io_context() wasn't used by anybody. Make it
return void like other put functions and docbook-fy the function
comment.

* Reorder dummy declarations for !CONFIG_BLOCK case a bit.

* Make alloc_ioc_context() use __GFP_ZERO allocation, take init out of
if block and drop 0'ing.

* Docbook-fy current_io_context() comment.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.
