Subject: block: add a bio_add_virt_nofail helper
X-Git-Url: https://www.infradead.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=04c8e958517867ae95dcb225d2b5cb30fee439e8;p=users%2Fhch%2Fmisc.git

block: add a bio_add_virt_nofail helper

Add a helper to add a directly mapped kernel virtual address to a
bio so that callers don't have to convert to pages or folios.

For now only the _nofail variant is provided as that is what all the
obvious callers want.
