[PATCH 00/13] block: assorted cleanup for bio splitting and cloning.

From: NeilBrown
Date: Mon May 01 2017 - 23:45:51 EST


This is a revision of my series of patches working
towards removing the bioset work queues.

This set is based on Linus' tree as for today (2nd May) plus
the for-linus branch from Shaohua's md/raid tree.

This series adds a fix for the new lightnvm/pblk-read code
and discards bioset_create_nobvec() in favor of a flag arg to
bioset_create(). There are also minor fixes and a little
code clean-up.

I hope to eventually get rid of the new BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER flag,
but that needs work ing dm and probably bcache first.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
