The two aren't mutually exclusive - but using BIO_KMALLOC_POOL instead of separate interfaces is an excellent idea, I'll do that. That means bio_clone_kmalloc will just become: static inline struct bio *bio_clone_kmalloc(struct bio *bio, gfp_t gfp_mask) { return bio_clone_bioset(bio, gfp_mask, BIO_KMALLOC_POOL) } (or maybe NULL there, I think using NULL for the interface makes sense, I just don't want to use it for bi_pool).
