From 0a0d96b03a1f3bfd6bc3ea08008699e8e59fccd9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2008 13:17:37 +0200 Subject: block: add bio_kmalloc() Not all callers need (or want!) the mempool backing guarentee, it essentially means that you can only use bio_alloc() for short allocations and not for preallocating some bio's at setup or init time. So add bio_kmalloc() which does the same thing as bio_alloc(), except it just uses kmalloc() as the backing instead of the bio mempools.
