From 818827669d85b84241696ffef2de485db46b0b5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: FUJITA Tomonori Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2008 16:20:19 +0900 Subject: block: make blk_rq_map_user take a NULL user-space buffer This patch changes blk_rq_map_user to accept a NULL user-space buffer with a READ command if rq_map_data is not NULL. Thus a caller can pass page frames to lk_rq_map_user to just set up a request and bios with page frames propely. bio_uncopy_user (called via blk_rq_unmap_user) doesn't copy data to user space with such request.
