After moving all requests from fl->fl_blocked_requests to new->fl_blocked_requests it is nonsensical to do anything to all the remaining elements, there aren't any. This should do something to all the requests that have been moved. For simplicity, it does it to all requests in the target list. Setting "f->fl_blocker = new" to all members of new->fl_blocked_requests is "obviously correct" as it preserves the invariant of the linkage among requests.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
