I'm kind of shocked this works today. Usually bvecs coalesce adjacent
pages into a single entry, so you need to use a real iterator like
bio_for_each_folio_all() to extract individual pages from a bvec.
Maybe the sio bvec is constructed inefficiently.

I think Kent had some bvec folio iterators in progress?
I'll convert bio_first_page_all() to bio_first_folio_all() in a v2.
That isn't my point at all. What I'm saying is that when you call a
function like bio_add_folio(), if @folio is physically adjacent to the
immediately prior folio already in the bio, it will extend the bv_len
instead of adding the new folio to the bvec. Maybe there's nothing like
that for sio.

Thanks for your reply! I got it.
