Subject[PATCH] block: fix bio_add_page for non trivial merge_bvec_fn case
Date
Hi, year ago I've sent a patch which fix false bio merge rejects, but
seems patch was missed. Currently the issue is still present.

Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] block: fix bio_add_page for non trivial merge_bvec_fn case

We have to properly decrease bi_size in order to merge_bvec_fn return
right result. Otherwise this result in false merge rejects for two
absolutely valid bio_vecs. This may cause significant performance penalty
for example Itanium: page_size == 16k, fs_block_size == 1k and block device
is raid with small chunk_size.
