__make_request [2.4.20]



If you look at __make_request(drivers/block/ll_rw_block.c) near the bottom you'll find 
a call to blk_started_io.
blk_started_io is defined in include/linux/blkdev.h as:
#define blk_started_io(nsects) do { } while (0)

Can anyone tell me why that empty function is used?

Thanx.
