NAME

bio_add_page - attempt to add page to bio  

SYNOPSIS

int bio_add_page(struct bio * bio, struct page * page, unsigned int len, unsigned int offset);
 

ARGUMENTS

bio

destination bio

page

page to add

len

vec entry length

offset

vec entry offset
 

DESCRIPTION

Attempt to add a page to the bio_vec maplist. This can fail for a number of reasons, such as the bio being full or target block device limitations. The target block device must allow bio's smaller than PAGE_SIZE, so it is always possible to add a single page to an empty bio.
