From cda9205da24aeaa8fb086b0fb85cdf39571ecc3f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Chen, Kenneth W" Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2007 20:40:43 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fix blk_direct_IO bio preparation For large size DIO that needs multiple bio, one full page worth of data was lost at the boundary of bio's maximum sector or segment limits. After a bio is full and got submitted. The outer while (nbytes) { ... } loop will allocate a new bio and just march on to index into next page. It just forgets about the page that bio_add_page() rejected when previous bio is full. Fix it by put the rejected page back to pvec so we pick it up again for the next bio.
