[PATCH] md_make_request: don't touch the bio after calling make_request

From: Chris Mason
Date: Mon Feb 07 2011 - 14:22:17 EST


md_make_request was calling bio_sectors() for part_stat_add
after it was calling the make_request function. This is
bad because the make_request function can free the bio and
because the bi_size field can change around.

The fix here was suggested by Jens Axboe. It saves the
sector count before the make_request call. I hit this
with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC turned on while trying to break
his pretty fusionio card.
