[PATCH 0/2] multi-page bvec configuration for integrity payload

[Jinyoung Choi]

In the case of NVMe, it has an integrity payload consisting of one segment.
So, rather than configuring SG_LIST, it was changed by direct DMA mapping.

The page-merge is not performed for the struct bio_vec when creating 
a integrity payload in block.
As a result, when creating an integrity paylaod beyond one page, each 
struct bio_vec is generated, and its bv_len does not exceed the PAGESIZE.

To solve it, bio_integrity_add_page() should just add to the existing 
bvec, similar to bio_add_page() and friends. 
As the bip configuration changed, the code related to sg_list was
also modified.

Tested like this:

- Format (support pi)
$ sudo nvme format /dev/nvme2n1 --force -n 1 -i 1 -p 0 -m 0 -l 1 -r

- Run FIO
[global]
ioengine=libaio
group_reporting

[job]
bs=512k
iodepth=256
rw=write
numjobs=8
direct=1
runtime=10s
filename=/dev/nvme2n1

- Result
