Subject: [PATCH] block: account for bi_bvec_done in bio_may_need_split()
Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2026 21:42:36 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260110134236.442681-1-ming.lei@redhat.com> (raw)

When checking if a bio fits in a single segment, bio_may_need_split()
compares bi_size against the current bvec's bv_len. However, for
partially consumed bvecs (bi_bvec_done > 0), such as in cloned or
split bios, the remaining bytes in the current bvec is actually
(bv_len - bi_bvec_done), not bv_len.

This could cause bio_may_need_split() to incorrectly return false,
leading to nr_phys_segments being set to 1 when the bio actually
spans multiple segments. This triggers the WARN_ON in __blk_rq_map_sg()
when the actual mapped segments exceed the expected count.

Fix by subtracting bi_bvec_done from bv_len in the comparison.
