2019-07-10	xfs: chain bios the right way around in xfs_rw_bdev	Christoph Hellwig	1	-1/+1
	We need to chain the earlier bios to the later ones, so that submit_bio_wait waits on the bio that all the completions are dispatched to.

2019-06-28	xfs: use bios directly to read and write the log recovery buffers	Christoph Hellwig	1	-0/+61
	The xfs_buf structure is basically used as a glorified container for a memory allocation in the log recovery code. Replace it with a call to kmem_alloc_large and a simple abstraction to read into or write from it synchronously using chained bios.
