Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Commit a8821f3f("block: Improvements to bounce-buffer handling") tries to make sure that the bio to .make_request_fn won't exceed BIO_MAX_PAGES, but ignores that passthrough I/O can use blk_queue_bounce() too. Especially, passthrough IO may not be sector-aligned, and the check of 'sectors < bio_sectors(*bio_orig)' inside __blk_queue_bounce() may become true even though the max bvec number doesn't exceed BIO_MAX_PAGES, then cause the bio splitted, and the original passthrough bio is submited to generic_make_request(). This patch fixes this issue by checking if the bio is passthrough IO, and use bio_kmalloc() to allocate the cloned passthrough bio.
