  * bioset_init - Initialize a bio_set
+ * @bs:		pool to initialize
  * @pool_size:	Number of bio and bio_vecs to cache in the mempool
  * @front_pad:	Number of bytes to allocate in front of the returned bio
  * @flags:	Flags to modify behavior, currently %BIOSET_NEED_BVECS
  *              and %BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER
  *
- * Similar to bioset_create(), but initializes a passed-in bioset instead of
- * separately allocating it.
+ * Description:
+ *    Set up a bio_set to be used with @bio_alloc_bioset. Allows the caller
+ *    to ask for a number of bytes to be allocated in front of the bio.
+ *    Front pad allocation is useful for embedding the bio inside
+ *    another structure, to avoid allocating extra data to go with the bio.
+ *    Note that the bio must be embedded at the END of that structure always,
+ *    or things will break badly.
+ *    If %BIOSET_NEED_BVECS is set in @flags, a separate pool will be allocated
+ *    for allocating iovecs.  This pool is not needed e.g. for bio_clone_fast().
+ *    If %BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER is set, a workqueue is created which can be used to
+ *    dispatch queued requests when the mempool runs out of space.
