[BLOCK] blk_rq_map_sg: force clear termination bit

2007-10-23T07:49:25Z

Since blk_rq_map_sg() sets the termination bit at the end of the sg table, we could see it prematurely on the next mapping unless we force drivers to do a full sg_init_table() prior to each mapping. So force clear the termination bit to avoid having to put that clear in the driver for every mapping. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks

2007-10-19T18:53:43Z

The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in the kernel. The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

[BLOCK] Clear sg entry before filling in blk_rq_map_sg()

2007-10-17T11:02:33Z

The memset() of the sg entry was originally removed, because it could overwrite a chain pointer. But it's quite OK to memset() it when we know it's a valid entry, since it can't contain a chain pointer. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
