    dm: store dm_target_io in bio front_pad · dba14160
    Mikulas Patocka 提交于
    Use the recently-added bio front_pad field to allocate struct dm_target_io.
    
    Prior to this patch, dm_target_io was allocated from a mempool. For each
    dm_target_io, there is exactly one bio allocated from a bioset.
    
    This patch merges these two allocations into one allocation: we create a
    bioset with front_pad equal to the size of dm_target_io so that every
    bio allocated from the bioset has sizeof(struct dm_target_io) bytes
    before it. We allocate a bio and use the bytes before the bio as
    dm_target_io.
    
    _tio_cache is removed and the tio_pool mempool is now only used for
    request-based devices.
