Re: [PATCH v2 02/14] block: bio-integrity: modify bio_integrity_add_page()

[hch@xxxxxx]

Hi Jinyoung,

can you work a bit on the commit log and especially the subject line?

I'd word this as something like:

"Subject: bio-integrity: create multi-page bvecs in bio_integrity_add_page()

Allow bio_integrity_add_page to create multi-page bvecs, just like
the bio payloads.  This simplifies adding larger payloads, and fixes
support for non-tiny workloads with nvme, which stopped using scatterlist
for metadata a while ago"

It should probably also mentioned somewhere that you did an audit to
ensure all drivers and the core code is fine with these multi-page
segments.  If it's not, this patch should only be added after that
has been made the case.

I think the extra arguments struct is a bit overcompliated, and mostly
due to me making the existing code to weird things in the low-level
helpers.  With the "rationalize the flow in bio_add_page and friends"
series I just sent out, I think we can drop the previous patch and
simplify this one down to:
