Hi Jens,
bio_split only works for bios with a single page...
[ from bio.c: ]
/*
* split a bio - only worry about a bio with a single page
* in it's iovec
*/
struct bio_pair *bio_split(struct bio *bi, mempool_t *pool, int first_sectors)
{
struct bio_pair *bp = mempool_alloc(pool, GFP_NOIO);
if (!bp)
return bp;
BUG_ON(bi->bi_vcnt != 1);
[...]
In DRBD-0.8 I want to split BIO's that cross a 16 MB boundary.
In DRBD-0.8 I accept BIOs with more than one page (currently up to
32 kB in a single BIO), I thought that bio_split is here
to handle such situations....
Is there an other way to go ?
Would you accept a patch that would make bio_split to work with bigger
BIOs ?
Currently my code hits that BUG_ON statement....
-Philipp
