From 3d48749d93a3dce732dd30a14002ab90ec4355f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2012 13:15:25 -0800 Subject: block: ioc_task_link() can't fail ioc_task_link() is used to share %current's ioc on clone. If %current->io_context is set, %current is guaranteed to have refcount on the ioc and, thus, ioc_task_link() can't fail. Replace error checking in ioc_task_link() with WARN_ON_ONCE() and make it just increment refcount and nr_tasks. -v2: Description typo fix (Vivek).
