This matches bio_add_page and the order inside bio_vec itself. willy wanted to switch it around for bio_add_folio but Jens didn't like it, so I'll stick to the current convention in this area as well.
Looks good,

Why do you want to remove the open-coded bvec initializations? What is wrong with open-coding bvec initialization? This patch series modifies a lot of code but does not improve code readability. Anyone who encounters code that uses the new function bvec_set_page() has to look up the definition of that function to figure out what it does. > - iv = bip->bip_vec + bip->bip_vcnt; > - > if (bip->bip_vcnt && > bvec_gap_to_prev(&bdev_get_queue(bio->bi_bdev)->limits, > &bip->bip_vec[bip->bip_vcnt - 1], offset)) > return 0; > > - iv->bv_page = page; > - iv->bv_len = len; > - iv->bv_offset = offset; > + bvec_set_page(&bip->bip_vec[bip->bip_vcnt], page, len, offset); > bip->bip_vcnt++; Has it been considered to use structure assignment instead of introducing bvec_set_page(), e.g. as follows? bip->bip_vec[bip->bip_vcnt] = (struct bio_vec) { .bv_page = page, .bv_len = len, .bv_offset = offset }; Thanks, Bart.

This also matches sg_set_page() so sticking to the current convention is definitely a good idea! Thanks, Ilya

Please ignore the above question - I just noticed that this question has been answered in the cover letter. Bart.

It was originally added for nth_page() in 3d75ca0adef4 but those were all removed by b8753433fc61. A quick smoke test on my default testing config doesn't find any problems. Let me send a patch and see if the build bots complain.

Let me send a patch and see if the build bots complain. Disappointingly, it doesn't really change anything. 1134 files depend on mm.h both before and after [1]. Looks like it's due to arch/x86/include/asm/cacheflush.h pulling in linux/mm.h, judging by the contents of .build_test_kernel-x86_64/net/ipv6/.inet6_hashtables.o.cmd. But *lots* of header files pull in mm.h, including scatterlist.h, vt_kern.h, net.h, nfs_fs.h, sunrpc/svc.h and security.h. I suppose it may cut down on include loops to drop it here, so I'm still in favour of the patch I posted, but this illustrates how deeply entangled our headers still are. [1] find .build_test_kernel-x86_64/ -name '.*.cmd' |xargs grep 'include/linux/mm.h' |wc -l

Until mm.h is gone from bvec there's no point removing other headers which pull it in to skbuff.h.

I'm also find it less readable.

Add a helper to initialize a bvec based of a page pointer. This will help removing various open code bvec initializations.
