Hello Dave,

Thanks for reviewing this.

__bio_try_merge_page() may return same_page = 1 and merged = 0.
This could happen when bio->bi_iter.bi_size + len > UINT_MAX.

Ummm, silly question, but exactly how are we getting a bio that
large in ->writepages getting built? Even with 64kB pages, that's a
bio with 2^16 pages attached to it. We shouldn't be building single
bios in writeback that large - what storage hardware is allowing
such huge bios to be built? (i.e. can you dump all the values in
/sys/block/<dev>/queue/* for that device for us?)

Please correct me here, but as I see, bio has only these two limits
which it checks for adding page to bio. It doesn't check for limits
of /sys/block/<dev>/queue/* no? I guess then it could be checked
by block layer below b4 submitting the bio?

113 static inline bool bio_full(struct bio *bio, unsigned len)
114 {
115         if (bio->bi_vcnt >= bio->bi_max_vecs)
116                 return true;
117
118         if (bio->bi_iter.bi_size > UINT_MAX - len)
119                 return true;

121         return false;

This issue was first observed while running a fio run on a system with
huge memory. But then here is an easy way we figured out to trigger the
issue almost everytime with loop device on my VM setup. I have provided
all the details on this below.
