[PATCH 11/14] block: use alloc_io_context in __copy_io

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Date: 2021-11-26 12:36:22
Also in: linux-block
Subsystem: block layer, the rest · Maintainers: Jens Axboe, Linus Torvalds

In __copy_io we know that the newly allocate task_struct does not have
an I/O context yet and is not exiting.  So just allocate the I/O context
struct and install it directly.  There is no need to lock the task
either as it is just being created.
