*	block: add notion of a chunk size for request merging	Jens Axboe	2014-06-05	1	-1/+2
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Some drivers have different limits on what size a request should optimally be, depending on the offset of the request. Similar to dividing a device into chunks. Add a setting that allows the driver to inform the block layer of such a chunk size. The block layer will then prevent merging across the chunks. This is needed to optimally support NVMe with a non-zero stripe size. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
*	block: move bio.c and bio-integrity.c from fs/ to block/	Jens Axboe	2014-05-19	1	-0/+2038
	They really belong in block/, especially now since it's not in drivers/block/ anymore. Additionally, the get_maintainer script gets it wrong when in fs/. Suggested-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Acked-by: Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
