    dm log writes: fix bug with too large bios · 7efb3673
    Mikulas Patocka authored
    bio_alloc() can allocate a bio with at most BIO_MAX_PAGES (256) vector
    entries.  However, the incoming bio may have more vector entries if it
    was allocated by other means.  For example, bcache submits bios with
    more than BIO_MAX_PAGES entries.  This results in bio_alloc() failure.
    
    To avoid the failure, change the code so that it allocates bio with at
    most BIO_MAX_PAGES entries.  If the incoming bio has more entries,
    bio_add_page() will fail and a new bio will be allocated - the code that
    handles bio_add_page() failure already exists in the dm-log-writes
    target.
