<id>urn:sha1:e8007fad5457ea547ca63bb011fdb03213571c7e</id>
<content type='text'>
The REPORT ZONES buffer size is currently limited by the HBA's maximum
segment count to ensure the buffer can be mapped. However, the block
layer further limits the number of iovec entries to 1024 when allocating
a bio.

To avoid allocation of buffers too large to be mapped, further restrict
the maximum buffer size to BIO_MAX_INLINE_VECS.

Replace the UIO_MAXIOV symbolic name with the more contextually
appropriate BIO_MAX_INLINE_VECS.

&gt;4GB folio is possible on some ARCHs, such as aarch64, 16GB hugepage
is supported, then 'offset' of folio can't be held in 'unsigned int',
cause warning in bio_add_folio_nofail() and IO failure.

Fix it by adjusting 'page' &amp; trimming 'offset' so that `-&gt;bi_offset` won't
be overflow, and folio can be added to bio successfully.

<title>block: split struct bio_integrity_payload</title>

<id>urn:sha1:105ca2a2c2ff2c8df0e334d6913d62eec1973dd3</id>
<content type='text'>
Many of the fields in struct bio_integrity_payload are only needed for
the default integrity buffer in the block layer, and the variable
sized array at the end of the structure makes it very hard to embed
into caller allocated structures.

Reduce struct bio_integrity_payload to the minimal structure needed in
common code and create two separate containing structures for the
automatically generated payload and the caller allocated payload.
The latter is a simple wrapper for struct bio_integrity_payload and
the bvecs, while the former contains the additional fields moved out
of struct bio_integrity_payload.

Always use a dedicated mempool for automatic integrity metadata
instead of depending on bio_set that is submitter controlled and thus
often doesn't have the mempool initialized and stop using mempools for
the submitter buffers as they aren't in the NOIO I/O submission path
where we need to guarantee forward progress.

Device mapper bioset often has big bio_slab size, which can be more than
1000, then 8byte can't hold the slab name any more, cause the kmem_cache
allocation warning of 'kmem_cache of name 'bio-108' already exists'.

This is disallowed.

This check will now be relevant since the device mapper personalities
will start to support atomic writes, and they use this function.

Lift bio_split_rw_at into blk_rq_append_bio so that it validates the
hardware limits.  With this all passthrough callers can simply add
bio_add_page to build the bio and delay checking for exceeding of limits
to this point instead of doing it for each page.

While this looks like adding a new expensive loop over all bio_vecs,
blk_rq_append_bio is already doing that just to counter the number of
segments.

Instead of returning an inconclusive value of NULL for an error in calling
bio_split(), return a ERR_PTR() always.

Also remove the BUG_ON() calls, and WARN_ON_ONCE() instead. Indeed, since
almost all callers don't check the return code from bio_split(), we'll
crash anyway (for those failures).

Fix up the only user which checks bio_split() return code today (directly
or indirectly), blk_crypto_fallback_split_bio_if_needed(). The md/bcache
code does check the return code in cached_dev_cache_miss() -&gt;
bio_next_split() -&gt; bio_split(), but only to see if there was a split, so
there would be no change in behaviour here (when returning a ERR_PTR()).
