[PATCH] fix bio_add_page for non trivial merge_bvec_fn case

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We have to properly decrease all related bio's counters, especially bi_size
in order to merge_bvec_fn return right result. Usually this result in
false merge rejects for two absolutely valid bio_vecs. This may cause 
significant performance penalty for example Itanium: page_size == 16k,
fs_block_size == 1k and block device is raid with small chunk_size.
