Hi all,

raid5_mergeable_bvec() (q->merge_bvec_fn) checks for the rw-type and
makes decisions based on that if the bio is mergable or not. But so far
this value is only initialized on calling submit_bio(),
at least not by ext4 and xfs. I have not checked other file system so far.

Question 1: merge_bvec_fn is supposed to be removed, is is
still worth to fix the usage of merge_bvec_fn?

Question 2: If it is still supposed to be fixed, how do want to have
it? So far I have two patches for xfs and ext4 to set the rw type
directly there, but maybe bio_add_page should get an int rw_type
parameter and set bio->bi_rw itself?
