Hi,
thanks for the patch. I'll make a few changes to what I finally apply -
for example we don't really need mempools in r1buf_poll_alloc as that isn't
on the writeout path - so I'll tidy that up first.
Also I'll avoid making changes to fs/bio.c at first. It may still be a
good idea to have a bio_clone_bioset, but that should be a separate patch -
there are at least 3 places that would use it.
Thanks - I'll try to get this into the current merge window.
