[patch 034/100] dm: preserve bi_io_vec when resubmitting bios

From: Chris Wright

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>

upstream commit: a920f6b3accc77d9dddbc98a7426be23ee479625

Device mapper saves and restores various fields in the bio, but it doesn't save
bi_io_vec. If the device driver modifies this after a partially successful
request, dm-raid1 and dm-multipath may attempt to resubmit a bio that has
bi_size inconsistent with the size of vector.

To make requests resubmittable in dm-raid1 and dm-multipath, we must save
and restore the bio vector as well.

To reduce the memory overhead involved in this, we do not save the pages in a
vector and use a 16-bit field size if the page size is less than 65536.
