[dm-devel] [PATCH] kcopyd.c : Set bh->b_count to 1 in dispatch_bh()

[Kevin Corry]

Set bh->b_count to 1 in dispatch_bh().

I'm not entirely sure this is necessary. RAID-1 sets this value to 1, RAID-5
sets it to zero, and loop doesn't set it at all. I guess it all really depends
on if any of the device drivers are going to access that field. The only
obvious place I see it being accessed is in ide-floppy and ide-tape. This
patch sets it to one. May not be required, but shouldn't hurt anything.
Anyone have any insights?
