From 627a2d3c29427637f4c5d31ccc7fcbd8d312cd71 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2010 16:44:38 +1100 Subject: md: deal with merge_bvec_fn in component devices better. If a component device has a merge_bvec_fn then as we never call it we must ensure we never need to. Currently this is done by setting max_sector to 1 PAGE, however this does not stop a bio being created with several sub-page iovecs that would violate the merge_bvec_fn. So instead set max_segments to 1 and set the segment boundary to the same as a page boundary to ensure there is only ever one single-page segment of IO requested at a time. This can particularly be an issue when 'xen' is used as it is known to submit multiple small buffers in a single bio.
