In the case of NVMe, it has an integrity payload consisting of one segment. So, rather than configuring SG_LIST, it was changed by direct DMA mapping. The page-merge is not performed for the struct bio_vec when creating a integrity payload in block. As a result, when creating an integrity paylaod beyond one page, each struct bio_vec is generated, and its bv_len does not exceed the PAGESIZE. To solve it, bio_integrity_add_page() should just add to the existing bvec, similar to bio_add_page() and friends. As the bip configuration changed, the code related to sg_list was also modified.
