[PATCH v4 03/12] block: Add bio_reset()

From: Kent Overstreet <hidden>
Date: 2012-07-24 20:11:59
Also in: dm-devel, lkml
Subsystem: block layer, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Jens Axboe, Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

Reusing bios is something that's been highly frowned upon in the past,
but driver code keeps doing it anyways. If it's going to happen anyways,
we should provide a generic method.

This'll help with getting rid of bi_destructor - drivers/block/pktcdvd.c
was open coding it, by doing a bio_init() and resetting bi_destructor.
