From e36f6204288088fda50d1c84830340ccb70f85ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Keith Busch Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2016 15:08:39 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] block: split bios to max possible length This splits bio in the middle of a vector to form the largest possible bio at the h/w's desired alignment, and guarantees the bio being split will have some data. The criteria for splitting is changed from the max sectors to the h/w's optimal sector alignment if it is provided. For h/w that advertise their block storage's underlying chunk size, it's a big performance win to not submit commands that cross them. If sector alignment is not provided, this patch uses the max sectors as before. This addresses the performance issue commit d380561113 attempted to fix, but was reverted due to splitting logic error.
