If the layout is "fancy", we need to be able to rearrange the provided bio_vecs in stripe unit chunks to make it possible for the messenger to read/write directly from/to the provided data buffer, without employing a temporary data buffer for assembling the result. Higher level bio_vec arrays are generally immutable, so this requires copying into a private array. Only the bio_vecs themselves are shuffled around, not the actual data. OWN_BVECS doesn't own any pages. Signed-off-by: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@gmail.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
