Subject: block: remove the checking for NULL queue in blk_put_request
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=52a93ba815737e3877f85b46850cffe993a22429;p=linux-beck.git

block: remove the checking for NULL queue in blk_put_request

Some uses blk_put_request asymmetrically, that is, they uses it with
requests that not allocated by blk_get_request. As a result,
blk_put_request has a hack to catch a NULL request_queue. Now such
callers are fixed (they use blk_get_request properly). So we can
safely remove the hack in blk_put_request.
