I gave you the prototype:

: No, stop this.  What the filesystem needs to do is not
: s/bio_add_folio/act_bio_add_folio/.  There needs to be an API to set the
: bio prio; something like:
: 
:         bio_set_active_prio(bio, folio);

Do not iterate over the bio.  Use the folio provided to set the prio.

Or is there some reason this doesn't work?
