Subject: ext4: remove loop around bio_alloc()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=275d3ba6b40d0f098693b9089c6fee9bd4e55d74;p=mv-sheeva.git

ext4: remove loop around bio_alloc()

These days, bio_alloc() is guaranteed to never fail (as long as nvecs
is less than BIO_MAX_PAGES), so we don't need the loop around the
struct bio allocation.
