    Subject[PATCH 32/36] block: ioc_task_link() can't fail
    Date
    ioc_task_link() is used to share %current's ioc on clone.  If
    %current->io_context is set, %current is guaranteed to have refcount
    on the ioc and, thus, ioc_task_link() can't fail.

    Replace error checking in ioc_task_link() with WARN_ON_ONCE() and make
    it just increment refcount and nr_tasks.

    -v2: Description typo fix (Vivek).
