Additionally, there is more code that copies these fields, e.g. the code in bio_clone_bioset(). Shouldn't that code be modified such that it also copies bi_partno? How about the following class of assignments in drivers/md/raid1.c: mbio->bi_disk = (void *)conf->mirrors[i].rdev; Should these assignments perhaps be followed by a mbio->bi_partno assignment? How about the following class of assignments in the NVMe code: bio->bi_disk = disk; Should these assignments perhaps be followed by a bio->bi_partno assignment? Thanks, Bart.
