_rq_for_each_bio() iterates over the bios in a request. Does a copy
offload request always have two bios - one copy destination bio and
one copy source bio? If so, is 'seg' a bio counter? Why is that bio
counter compared with the number of physical segments in the request?
Yes, your observation is right. We are treating first bio as dst and
second as src. If not for that comparision, we might need to store the
index in a temporary variable and parse based on index value.
I'm still wondering why 'seg' is compared with blk_rq_nr_phys_segments(req).
Thanks,
Bart.
