Now that the outstanding reads are counted in bytes, there is no need
to use the low-level __bio_try_merge_page API, we can switch back to
always using bio_add_page and simply iomap_readpage_actor again.

I don't think this quite works.  You need to check the return value
from bio_add_page(), otherwise you can be in a situation where you try
to add a page to the last bvec and it's not contiguous, so it fails.

I was imagining something more like this:

-       bool same_page = false, is_contig = false;
+       bool is_contig = false;
...
        /* Try to merge into a previous segment if we can */
        sector = iomap_sector(iomap, pos);
-       if (ctx->bio && bio_end_sector(ctx->bio) == sector) {
-               if (__bio_try_merge_page(ctx->bio, page, plen, poff,
-                               &same_page))
-                       goto done;
-               is_contig = true;
-       }
+       if (ctx->bio && bio_end_sector(ctx->bio) == sector)
+               is_contig = bio_add_page(ctx->bio, page, plen, poff) > 0;

-       if (!is_contig || bio_full(ctx->bio, plen)) {
+       if (!is_contig) {
                gfp_t gfp = mapping_gfp_constraint(page->mapping, GFP_KERNEL);
                gfp_t orig_gfp = gfp;
...
                bio_set_dev(ctx->bio, iomap->bdev);
                ctx->bio->bi_end_io = iomap_read_end_io;
+               bio_add_page(ctx->bio, page, plen, poff);
        }

-       bio_add_page(ctx->bio, page, plen, poff);
 done:

Indeed.  While bio_full covers the number of vectors, if we run out of
bytes in bi_size this won't work.

I think we can do this version, but I haven't tested it yet:

Hi all,

this series cleans up the bio handling in the iomap buffered I/O code
by dropping use of the very lowlevel helpers.  We did only need them
before Matthew converted the inflight counters to be byte based

Changes sine v1:
 - fix readpage to properly handle bios that hit their byte size limit
