Hi Keith,
I reviewed your patch and cleaned it up a little. Just some whitespace
nits and used test_bit(). I also renamed dm-table.c's
queue_contiguous_sg() to queue_supports_sg_gaps() to follow the pattern
established by the existing queue_supports_sg_merge().
Jens, provided you and Keith agree with my changes, and given that the
initial request-based DM support for blk-mq will land during the 3.20
merge: can you please pick this fix up for 3.20? If you'd prefer to
just take the block change I'm fine with picking up the DM portion.
Let me know, thanks!
Mike

Subject: [PATCH] block: do not merge two requests with sg gaps if unsupported
Also, a DM device must inherit the QUEUE_FLAG_SG_GAPS flags from its
underlying block devices' request queues.
This fixes problems when submitting cloned requests to multipathed
devices requiring virtually contiguous buffers.
