From 933f01d43326fb12a978a8e0bb062c28a2de4d5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Milan Broz Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:37:08 +0100 Subject: dm crypt: avoid unnecessary wait when splitting bio Don't wait between submitting crypt requests for a bio unless we are short of memory. There are two situations when we must split an encrypted bio: 1) there are no free pages; 2) the new bio would violate underlying device restrictions (e.g. max hw segments). In case (2) we do not need to wait. Add output variable to crypt_alloc_buffer() to distinguish between these cases.
