Laurent, looks there is one bug in blk_bio_segment_split(), would you
mind testing the following patch to see if it fixes your issue?

Subject: [PATCH] block: fix segment split

Inside blk_bio_segment_split(), previous bvec pointer('bvprvp')
always points to the iterator local variable, which is obviously
wrong, so fix it by pointing to the local variable of 'bvprv'.
