Actually I had also tried to reproduce this bug, without success.
But today I happened to know how to trigger the bug, by coincidence,
during testing other things.

Try to run xfstests/generic/034. You'll see the crash immediately.
Tested on a QEMU VM with kernel 3.18-rc4, virtio-blk, dm-flakey and xfs.

This patch didn't bring anything to me, as Lukas said.

"blk_recount_segments: 1-1-1 vcnt-128 segs-128"

As long as I understood so far, the reason is that bi_phys_segments gets
sometimes bigger than queue_max_sectors() after blk_recount_segments().
That happens no matter whether segments are recalculated or not.

I'm not completely sure about what to do, but how about the attached patch?
It seems to work, according to several xfstests runs.

Cheers,
Dongsu

Subject: [RFC PATCH] blk-merge: make bi_phys_segments consider also
 queue_max_segments()

When recounting the number of physical segments, the number of max
segments of request_queue must be also taken into account.
Otherwise bio->bi_phys_segments could get bigger than
queue_max_segments(). Then this results in virtio_queue_rq() seeing
req->nr_phys_segments that is greater than expected. Although the
initial queue_max_segments was set to (vblk->sg_elems - 2), a request
comes in with a larger value of nr_phys_segments, which triggers the
BUG_ON() condition.

This commit should fix a kernel crash in virtio_blk, which occurs
especially frequently when it runs with blk-mq, device mapper, and xfs.
The simplest way to reproduce this bug is to run xfstests/generic/034.
Note, test 034 requires dm-flakey to be turned on in the kernel config.
