From: Chaitanya Kulkarni <chaitanya.kulkarni@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ab96de5def854d8fc51280b6a20597e64b14ac31 ] When handling passthru commands, for inline bio allocation we only consider the transfer size. This works well when req->sg_cnt fits into the req->inline_bvec, but it will result in the early return from bio_add_hw_page() when req->sg_cnt > NVMET_MAX_INLINE_BVEC. Consider an I/O of size 32768 and first buffer is not aligned to the page boundary, then I/O is split in following manner :- [ 2206.256140] nvmet: sg->length 3440 sg->offset 656 [ 2206.256144] nvmet: sg->length 4096 sg->offset 0 [ 2206.256148] nvmet: sg->length 4096 sg->offset 0 [ 2206.256152] nvmet: sg->length 4096 sg->offset 0 [ 2206.256155] nvmet: sg->length 4096 sg->offset 0 [ 2206.256159] nvmet: sg->length 4096 sg->offset 0 [ 2206.256163] nvmet: sg->length 4096 sg->offset 0 [ 2206.256166] nvmet: sg->length 4096 sg->offset 0 [ 2206.256170] nvmet: sg->length 656 sg->offset 0 Now the req->transfer_size == NVMET_MAX_INLINE_DATA_LEN i.e. 32768, but the req->sg_cnt is (9) > NVMET_MAX_INLINE_BIOVEC which is (8). This will result in early return in the following code path :- nvmet_bdev_execute_rw() bio_add_pc_page() bio_add_hw_page() if (bio_full(bio, len)) return 0; Use previously introduced helper nvmet_use_inline_bvec() to consider req->sg_cnt when using inline bio. This only affects nvme-loop transport.
