From 275d3ba6b40d0f098693b9089c6fee9bd4e55d74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 21:44:45 -0400 Subject: ext4: remove loop around bio_alloc() These days, bio_alloc() is guaranteed to never fail (as long as nvecs is less than BIO_MAX_PAGES), so we don't need the loop around the struct bio allocation.
