[PATCH] erofs: fix bio->bi_max_vecs behavior change

From: Gao Xiang
Date: Fri Mar 05 2021 - 22:31:53 EST


From: Gao Xiang <hsiangkao@xxxxxxxxxx>

Martin reported an issue that directory read could be hung on the
latest -rc kernel with some certain image. The root cause is that
commit baa2c7c97153 ("block: set .bi_max_vecs as actual allocated
vector number") changes .bi_max_vecs behavior. bio->bi_max_vecs
is set as actual allocated vector number rather than the requested
number now.
Let's avoid using .bi_max_vecs completely instead.

Hi Chao,

Could you take some time on reviewing this patchset in advance?
I'd like to upstream this regression fix asap since it has noticable
impact on 5.12-rc kernel.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
