pktcdvd: don't scribble over the bvec array
Hi Peter, hi Jens, I've been looking over the multi page bio vec work again recently, and one of the stumbling blocks is raw biovec access in the pktcdvd. The first issue is that it directly sets up the page and offset pointers in the biovec just before calling bio_add_page. As bio_add_page already does the setup it's trivial to just switch it to stack variables for the arguments. The second issue is the copy code in pkt_make_local_copy, which effectively is an opencoded version of bio_copy_data except that it skips pages that already are the same in the ѕource and destination. But we look at the only calleer we just set up the bio using bio_add_page to point exactly to the page array that pkt_make_local_copy compares, so the pages will always be the same and we can just remove this function. Note that all this is done based on code inspection, I don't have any packet writing hardware myself. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
