It can be quite hard to deal with non-512 aligned sector buffer, since one sector buffer may cross two pages, so far one workaround I thought of is to not merge such IO buffer into one bvec. Verma, could you try the following patch? diff --git a/block/bio.c b/block/bio.c index 24a496f5d2e2..49deab2ac8c4 100644 --- a/block/bio.c +++ b/block/bio.c @@ -769,6 +769,9 @@ bool __bio_try_merge_page(struct bio *bio, struct page *page, if (WARN_ON_ONCE(bio_flagged(bio, BIO_CLONED))) return false; + if (off & 511) + return false; + if (bio->bi_vcnt > 0) { struct bio_vec *bv = &bio->bi_io_vec[bio->bi_vcnt - 1]; Thanks, Ming
