SubjectRe: [PATCH v1 0/4] block: fix bio_will_gap()
From
Date

> Hi Guys,
>
> The bio passed to bio_will_gap() may be fast cloned from upper
> layer(dm, md, bcache, fs, ...), or from bio splitting in block
> core. Unfortunately bio_will_gap() just figures out the last
> bvec via 'bi_io_vec[prev->bi_vcnt - 1]' directly, and this way
> is obviously wrong in case of fast-cloned bio.

> This patch introduces two helpers for getting the first and last
> bvec of one bio and applys them to fix the issue. Sagi tested
> the last patchset and confirmed the fix.
>
> V1:
> - get bvec directly for non-cloned bio
> - implement bio_get_last_bvec() with single bio_advance_iter(),
> and avoid to use bio_for_each_segment() which looks a bit inefficient
> - avoid to double check queue_virt_boundary() in bio_will_gap()

Thanks Ming,

Jens, can this make the next 4.5-rc since this regression was detected
in 4.5?

Thanks,
Sagi.
