Subject: dm vdo: add synchronous metadata I/O submission helper
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9d9c28aa867ae3ffdd967a8caeb4e3fb6d4003cd;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

dm vdo: add synchronous metadata I/O submission helper

Add vdo_submit_metadata_vio_wait(), a synchronous I/O submission
helper that blocks until completion. This is needed for I/O during
early initialization before work queues are available.

Refactor read_geometry_block() to use it.
