[PATCH V6 03/30] block: use bio_add_page in bio_iov_iter_get_pages

From: Ming Lei
Date: Sat Jun 09 2018 - 08:31:25 EST


From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>

Replace a nasty hack with a different nasty hack to prepare for multipage
bio_vecs. By moving the temporary page array as far up as possible in
the space allocated for the bio_vec array we can iterate forward over it
and thus use bio_add_page. Using bio_add_page means we'll be able to
merge physically contiguous pages once support for multipath bio_vecs is
merged.
