reproduced it with 32 bit pae:

1. Exclude memory above 4G line with boot param "max_addr=4G".

doesn't work - max_addr=1G doesn't work either

2. Disable highmem with "highmem=0".

works!

3. Try booting 64bit kernel.

works

blk_queue_bio() does split then bounce, which makes the segment
counting based on pages before bouncing and could go wrong.

Good catch! The blk-mq parts aren't affected by this, the screw up only happened in the old IO path. I've added this with the appropriate tested-by from Artem, and CC stable and listed the commit that broke it:

    block: make generic_make_request handle arbitrarily sized bios

Thanks to all involved in nailing this down, it'll go out shortly.
