When handling rw commands, for inline bio case we only consider
transfer size. This works well when req->sg_cnt fits into the
req->inline_bvec, but it will result in the warning in
__bio_add_page() when req->sg_cnt > NVMET_MAX_INLINE_BVEC.
Consider an I/O size 32768 and first page 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 the following warning message :-
nvmet_bdev_execute_rw()
bio_add_page()
__bio_add_page()
WARN_ON_ONCE(bio_full(bio, len));
This scenario is very hard to reproduce on the nvme-loop transport only
with rw commands issued with the passthru IOCTL interface from the host
application and the data buffer is allocated with the malloc() and not
the posix_memalign().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
