[dm-devel] [PATCH v9 3/9] dm: Use bioset's front_pad for dm_rq_clone_bio_info

Kent Overstreet koverstreet at google.com
Thu Sep 6 21:32:50 UTC 2012


Previously, dm_rq_clone_bio_info needed to be freed by the bio's
destructor to avoid a memory leak in the blk_rq_prep_clone() error path.
This gets rid of a memory allocation and means we can kill
dm_rq_bio_destructor.

The _rq_bio_info_cache kmem cache is unused now and needs to be deleted,
but due to the way io_pool is used and overloaded this looks not quite
trivial so I'm leaving it for a later patch.

v6: Fix comment on struct dm_rq_clone_bio_info, per Tejun
