Hi, Nitesh,

don't functions waiting for completion usually set their names to 'wait_for_completion_'?
(e.g. blkdev_copy_wait_for_completion_io)

wouldn't it be better to use size_t for variables that don't return?
values such as chunk and max_copy_bytes may be defined as 'unsigned'.

Isn't it a problem if the memory of cio is released in blkdev_copy_endio()?
It is unlikely to occur if there is an inflight i/o earlier,
it would be nice to modify considering code flow.

isn't it a problem if the memory of cio is released?
