From fb3cc4320e1fd87143683b540e459a2e20fdc9bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Piggin Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2005 20:45:15 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] blk: light iocontext ops get_io_context needlessly turned off interrupts and checked for racing io context creations. Both of which aren't needed, because the io context can only be created while in process context of the current process. Also, split the function in 2. A light version, current_io_context does not elevate the reference count specifically, but can be used when in process context, because the process holds a reference itself.
