Subject: [PATCH, resend] block: use bio_add_page in bio_iov_iter_get_pages
Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2018 08:28:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180920062821.18592-1-hch@lst.de> (raw)

Replace a nasty hack with a different nasty hack to prepare for multipage
bio_vecs.  By moving the temporary page array as far up as possible in
the space allocated for the bio_vec array we can iterate forward over it
and thus use bio_add_page.  Using bio_add_page means we'll be able to
merge physically contiguous pages once support for multipath bio_vecs is
merged.
