BIOSET_CREATE(9)                          The Linux VFS                          BIOSET_CREATE(9)



NAME
       bioset_create - Create a bio_set

SYNOPSIS
       struct bio_set * bioset_create(unsigned int pool_size, unsigned int front_pad);

ARGUMENTS
       pool_size
           Number of bio and bio_vecs to cache in the mempool

       front_pad
           Number of bytes to allocate in front of the returned bio

DESCRIPTION
       Set up a bio_set to be used with bio_alloc_bioset. Allows the caller to ask for a number
       of bytes to be allocated in front of the bio. Front pad allocation is useful for embedding
       the bio inside another structure, to avoid allocating extra data to go with the bio. Note
       that the bio must be embedded at the END of that structure always, or things will break
       badly.
