Subject: [PATCHv2] block: save page offset gaps in cloned bio
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 08:49:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260819154937.3903312-1-kbusch@meta.com> (raw)
From: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org>
The cloned bio needs to inherit the accumulated gaps between vectors so
that we can know if this bio can subscribe to the iova coalescing
optimization.
When cloning for a split, the gap only applies to the front bio since
that's as far as has been processed. The remaining bio can reset its
gaps to 0 since it advanced past the checked vectors, and will start its
accounting from there on the next split check.
Fixes: 2f6b2565d43c ("block: accumulate memory segment gaps per bio")

Added code comment explaining the reinitialization, and a more clear
change log.
