Subject: [PATCH 4/5] brd: split I/O at page boundaries
Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2025 09:26:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250421072641.1311040-5-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250421072641.1311040-1-hch@lst.de>
A lot of complexity in brd stems from the fact that it tries to handle
I/O spanning two backing pages. Instead limit the size of a single
bvec iteration so that it never crosses a page boundary and remove all
the now unneeded code.
