Another good quote is from Rusty Russell:

> Uhm, I am bit confused now. Why don't you just use end_request() here?

What a question!  end_request() doesn't end a request!  What a crazy
idea!

As far as I can tell, every name in the block layer is actually some
variant of "fuck off, this is too complicated for you to understand".

Hope that clarifies!
Rusty.

void end_request(struct request *req, int uptodate)
{
	if (!end_that_request_first(req, uptodate, req->hard_cur_sectors)) {
		add_disk_randomness(req->rq_disk);
		blkdev_dequeue_request(req);
		end_that_request_last(req, uptodate);
	}
}
