[PATCH] block: fix bounce_end_io

From: Ming Lei
Date: Sat Sep 12 2015 - 08:48:42 EST


When bio bounce is involved, one new bio and its io vector are
cloned from the coming bio, which can be one fast-cloned bio
and its io vector can be shared with another bio too, especially
after bio_split() is introduced.

So it is obviously wrong to assume the start index of the original
bio's io vector is zero, which can be any value between 0 and
(bi_max_vecs - 1), especially in case of bio split.

IMO, given one vector can only point to one page, there shouldn't
have difference between the two.

Josh, Adam, would you mind testing the above patch to see if it can fix
your issue?

Thanks,
