I mean only iterate one time in > bvec_for_each_segment(). I hope the above change is not our last choice > before I reply an Acked-by :-) Now the bvec from bio_for_each_segement_all() can't be changed any more since the referenced 'bvec' is generated in-flight given we store real multipage bvec. BTW, this way is actually suggested by Christoph for saving one new helper of bio_for_each_bvec_all() as done in V6, and per previous discussion, seems both Kent and Christoph agrees to convert bcache into bio_add_page() finally. So I guess this open code style should be fine. Thanks, Ming
