NAME
       bio_alloc_bioset - allocate a bio for I/O


SYNOPSIS
       struct bio * bio_alloc_bioset  (gfp_t gfp_mask, int nr_iovecs,
                                          struct bio_set * bs);


ARGUMENTS
       gfp_mask
              the GFP_ mask given to the slab allocator

       nr_iovecs
              number of iovecs to pre-allocate

       bs     the bio_set to allocate from


DESCRIPTION
       bio_alloc_bioset  will  first  try  it’s  on  mempool  to  satisfy  the
       allocation.  If  __GFP_WAIT  is  set then we will block on the internal
       pool waiting for a &struct bio to become free.

       allocate bio and iovecs from the memory pools specified by the  bio_set
       structure.
