Re: [PATCH RFC] lightnvm: pblk: fix crash in pblk_end_partial_read due to multipage bvecs

[Igor Konopko]

While reading this patch, idea came to my mind - maybe it would be 
simply better to get rid of partial read handling from pblk in current 
form at all and use bio_split() & bio_chain() combination instead?

This would definitely reduce a number of this 'kind of complicated' code 
inside pblk and let block layer help us with that. Even that the 
performance of such a requests could be a little worse (few smaller IOs 
instead of single vector IO), I believe that partial read is more a 
corner case, then a typical use case, so maybe this would be a path to go.

Let me know what you think about such an approach - I can make a patch 
with that if you want.
