nvmet: fix inline bio check for passthru
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When handling passthru commands, for inline bio allocation we only
consider the transfer size. This works well when req->sg_cnt fits into
the req->inline_bvec, but it will result in the early return from
bio_add_hw_page() when req->sg_cnt > NVMET_MAX_INLINE_BVEC.

Consider an I/O of size 32768 and first buffer is not aligned to the
page boundary, then I/O is split in following manner :-

[ 2206.256140] nvmet: sg->length 3440 sg->offset 656
[ 2206.256144] nvmet: sg->length 4096 sg->offset 0
[ 2206.256148] nvmet: sg->length 4096 sg->offset 0
[ 2206.256152] nvmet: sg->length 4096 sg->offset 0
[ 2206.256155] nvmet: sg->length 4096 sg->offset 0
[ 2206.256159] nvmet: sg->length 4096 sg->offset 0
[ 2206.256163] nvmet: sg->length 4096 sg->offset 0
[ 2206.256166] nvmet: sg->length 4096 sg->offset 0
[ 2206.256170] nvmet: sg->length 656 sg->offset 0

Now the req->transfer_size == NVMET_MAX_INLINE_DATA_LEN i.e. 32768, but
the req->sg_cnt is (9) > NVMET_MAX_INLINE_BIOVEC which is (8).
This will result in early return in the following code path :-

nvmet_bdev_execute_rw()
	bio_add_pc_page()
		bio_add_hw_page()
			if (bio_full(bio, len))
				return 0;

Use previously introduced helper nvmet_use_inline_bvec() to consider
req->sg_cnt when using inline bio. This only affects nvme-loop
transport.
