Both unit_max and unit_min are applied to FS bio, which is built over single userspace buffer, so only the 1st and last vector can include partial page, and the other vectors should always cover whole page, then the minimal size could be: (max_segments - 2) * PAGE_SIZE + 2 * queue_logical_block_size(q) Thanks, Ming
