block: fix nr_phys_segments miscalculation bug
This fixes the bug reported by Nikanth Karthikesan <knikanth@suse.de>: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/2/203 The root cause of the bug is that blk_phys_contig_segment miscalculates q->max_segment_size. blk_phys_contig_segment checks: req->biotail->bi_size + next_req->bio->bi_size > q->max_segment_size But blk_recalc_rq_segments might expect that req->biotail and the previous bio in the req are supposed be merged into one segment. blk_recalc_rq_segments might also expect that next_req->bio and the next bio in the next_req are supposed be merged into one segment. In such case, we merge two requests that can't be merged here. Later, blk_rq_map_sg gives more segments than it should. We need to keep track of segment size in blk_recalc_rq_segments and use it to see if two requests can be merged. This patch implements it in the similar way that we used to do for hw merging (virtual merging).
