Ummm, silly question, but exactly how are we getting a bio that
large in ->writepages getting built? Even with 64kB pages, that's a
bio with 2^16 pages attached to it. We shouldn't be building single
bios in writeback that large - what storage hardware is allowing
such huge bios to be built? (i.e. can you dump all the values in
/sys/block/<dev>/queue/* for that device for us?)

Cheers,

Dave.
