Recently a bug was fixed in which the bio_iter field in a ceph message was not being properly re-initialized when a message got re-transmitted: commit 43643528cce60ca184fe8197efa8e8da7c89a037 Author: Yan, Zheng <zheng.z.yan@xxxxxxxxx> rbd: Clear ceph_msg->bio_iter for retransmitted message We are now only initializing the bio_iter field when we are about to start to write message data (in prepare_write_message_data()), rather than every time we are attempting to write any portion of the message data (in write_partial_msg_pages()). This means we no longer need to use the msg->bio_iter field as a flag. So just don't do that any more. Trust prepare_write_message_data() to ensure msg->bio_iter is properly initialized, every time we are about to begin writing (or re-writing) a message's bio data.
