Consider it provoked, I added a trace to the submit_bio call in XFS
as well, dumping sector number, bio length in bytes and number of
vector elements submitted:
submit_bio(READ, sector 0x414870, len 65536 vec_len 16
submit_bio(READ, sector 0x4148f0, len 65536 vec_len 16

segment 15: phys 69726208, size 4096
And so on.....
The bio size being used is based purely on the BIO_MAX_SECTORS
constant, same code as ll_rw_kio. Looks like the direct I/O
path uses similar math.
