bio_clone() makes a copy of the bi_io_vec, but rbd never changes that, so there is no need for a copy. bio_clone_fast() can be used instead, which avoids making the copy. This requires that we provide a bio_set. bio_clone() uses fs_bio_set, but it isn't, in general, safe to use the same bio_set at different levels of the stack, as that can lead to deadlocks. As filesystems use fs_bio_set, block devices shouldn't. As rbd never stacks, it is safe to have a single global bio_set for all rbd devices to use. So allocate that when the module is initialised, and use it with bio_clone_fast().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
