Name

submit_bio — submit a bio to the block device layer for I/O

Synopsis

void submit_bio (int rw,
 struct bio * bio);
 

Arguments

rw

whether to READ or WRITE, or maybe to READA (read ahead)

bio

Description

submit_bio is very similar in purpose to generic_make_request, and uses that function to do most of the work. Both are fairly rough interfaces; bio must be presetup and ready for I/O.
