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.

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.
