It turns out that when extending an existing bio, gfs2_find_jhead fails to
check if the block number is consecutive, which leads to incorrect reads for
fragmented journals.
In addition, limit the maximum bio size to an arbitrary value of 2 megabytes:
since commit 07173c3ec276 ("block: enable multipage bvecs"), if we just keep
adding pages until bio_add_page fails, bios will grow much larger than useful,
which pins more memory than necessary with barely any additional performance
gains.

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.
