[PATCH 3/4] xen-blkback: check the number of iovecs before allocating a bios
From: Roger Pau Monne
Date: Fri Jun 21 2013 - 07:00:47 EST
With the introduction of indirect segments we can receive requests
with a number of segments bigger than the maximum number of allowed
iovecs in a bios, so make sure that blkback doesn't try to allocate a
bios with more iovecs than BIO_MAX_PAGES
