From: Joe Thornber This patch takes advantage of the new bio-prison interface where the memory is now passed in rather than using a mempool in bio-prison. This allows the map function to avoid performing potentially-blocking allocations that could lead to deadlocks: We want to avoid the cell allocation that is done in bio_detain. (The potential for mempool deadlocks still remains in other functions that use bio_detain.)
