[PATCH 10/14] block: move rq->start_time initialization to blk_rq_init()

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Fri Mar 13 2009 - 01:06:39 EST


Impact: rq->start_time is valid for all requests

rq->start_time was initialized in init_request_from_bio() so special
requests didn't have start_time set. This has been okay as start_time
has been used only for fs requests; however, there is no indication of
this actually is the case or not. Set rq->start_time in blk_rq_init()
and guarantee that all initialized rq's have its start_time set. This
improves consistency at virtually no cost and future changes will make
use of the timestamp for !bio requests.
