Only caller of alloc_cmd() is null_submit_bio() unconditionally sets second parameter to true and that is statically hard-coded in null_blk. There is no point in having statically hardcoded function parameter. Remove the unnecessary parameter can_wait and adjust the code so it can retain existing behavior of waiting when we don't get valid nullb_cmd from __alloc_cmd() in alloc_cmd(). The restructured code avoids multiple return statements, multiple calls to __alloc_cmd() and resulting a fast path call to prepare_to_wait() due to removal of first alloc_cmd() call. Follow the pattern that we have in bio_alloc() to set the structure members in the structure allocation function in alloc_cmd() and pass bio to initialize newly allocated cmd->bio member. Follow the pattern in copy_to_nullb() to use result of one function call (null_cache_active()) to be used as a parameter to another function call (null_insert_page()), use result of alloc_cmd() as a first parameter to the null_handle_cmd() in null_submit_bio() function. This allow us to remove the local variable cmd on stack in null_submit_bio() that is in fast path.

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.
