I think it is a bug of bounce_end_io, and the following patch may fix it.
---- From 08df0db0be41e6bea306bcf5b4d325f5a79dc7a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@canonical.com> Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2015 20:48:42 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] block: fix bounce_end_io
When bio bounce is involved, one new bio and its io vector are cloned from the coming bio, which can be one fast-cloned bio and its io vector can be shared with another bio too, especially after bio_split() is introduced.
So it is obviously wrong to assume the start index of the original bio's io vector is zero, which can be any value between 0 and (bi_max_vecs - 1), especially in case of bio split.

IMO, given one vector can only point to one page, there shouldn't have difference between the two.

Josh, Adam, would you mind testing the above patch to see if it can fix your issue?
Thanks, Ming
