OK, then please update commit log with dm-crypt use case, given there isn't such issue on plain nvme. BTW, bio won't be merged in case of plain NVMe since there is gap between two nvme bio's meta buffer, both are allocated from kmalloc(). However, is it possible for the split bios from dm-crypt to be merged in blk-mq code because dm-crypt may have its own queue limit? If yes, I guess this patch may not be enough. Otherwise, I think this path is good. Thanks, Ming
