Re: [PATCH v2 05/14] block: blk-merge: fix to add the number of integrity segments to the request twice

["hch@lst.de" <hch@lst.de>]

The subject looks a bit odd, I think you're trying to say:

"do not add the number of integrity segments to the request twice"

based on the actual patch, is this correct?

No need for the explicit comparisms, this could just be:

	return !blk_integrity_rq(req) && !bio_integrity(bio);

and given that it just has two callers I'm not sure the helper is
all that useful to start with.

Similarly here, I'm not even sure we need all these helpers.  I supect
the code would become more readable by dropping these helpers and just
making the checks explicitlẏ
