-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Olaf Kirch Get rid of first_clone in dm-crypt This gets rid of first_clone, which is not really needed. Apparently, cloned bios used to share their bvec some time way in the past - this is no longer the case. Contrarily, this even hurts us if we try to create a clone off first_clone after it has completed, and crypt_endio has destroyed its bvec.
