bio_split9
Split a bio
Usage
struct bio * bio_split(struct bio * bio, int sectors, gfp_t gfp, struct bio_set * bs);
Arguments
bio
bio to split
sectors
number of sectors to split from the front of bio
gfp
gfp mask
bs
bio set to allocate from
Overview
Allocates and returns a new bio which represents sectors from the start of bio, and updates bio to represent the remaining sectors.
Unless this is a discard request the newly allocated bio will point to bio's bi_io_vec; it is the caller's responsibility to ensure that bio is not freed before the split.
