Re: [PATCH RFC] lightnvm: pblk: fix crash in pblk_end_partial_read due to multipage bvecs

From: Igor Konopko

While reading this patch, idea came to my mind - maybe it would be simply better to get rid of partial read handling from pblk in current form at all and use bio_split() & bio_chain() combination instead?

This would definitely reduce a number of this 'kind of complicated' code inside pblk and let block layer help us with that. Even that the performance of such a requests could be a little worse (few smaller IOs instead of single vector IO), I believe that partial read is more a corner case, then a typical use case, so maybe this would be a path to go.

Let me know what you think about such an approach - I can make a patch with that if you want.

Ever since '07173c3ec276 ("block: enable multipage bvecs")' we
need to handle bios with multipage bvecs in pblk.

Currently, a multipage bvec results in a crash[1].
Fix this by using bvec iterators in stead of direct bvec indexing.

Also add a dcache flush, for the same reasons as in:
'6e6e811d747b ("block: Add missing flush_dcache_page() call")'

RFC to get more eyes on this - note that we're doing something
very similar to bio_copy_data_iter.

This works in my QEMU setup, and I'll start more regression testing now.
