[PATCH] DIO pages-in-io accounting fix
I found one more accounting inconsistency with dio_pages_in_io. This is a day-one bug and I started hitting it on latest -mm due to the recent changes to dio_pages_in_io calculations to be exact. If the file is badly fragmented (no contiguous blocks at all), and the user buffer is not page aligned - we need to create IO for each disk block with 2 pages. (bio with 2 vecs). dio_bio_add_page() should not decrement dio_pages_in_io for every add page. It should only decrement, it only if its done with that page and moving on to next page. (since dio_pages_in_io represent how many actual pages we are operating on). Here is the patch to fix this accounting. Without this patch, we will hit BUG() in dio_new_bio() with O_DIRECT on filesystems. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
