index_rbio_pages() is to populate the rbio->bio_sectors array.

In raid56_rmw_stripe() we later calls sector_in_rbio(), which will check 
if a sector is belonging to bio_lists.

If not called, all sector will be returned using the sectors in 
rbio->bio_sectors, not using the sectors in bio lists.

Have you tried your patch with fstests runs?

IMHO it should fail a lot of very basic writes in RAID56.

Thanks,
Qu
