I think it will be OK if nr_iovecs is not over BIO_MAX_VECS in
crypt_alloc_buffer(). Because page is added to bio in PAGE_SIZE as maximum,
and the minimum of max_bio_bytes is "BIO_MAX_VECS * PAGE_SIZE".

for (i = 0; i < nr_iovecs; i++) {
	page = mempool_alloc(&cc->page_pool, gfp_mask);
	if (!page) {
		crypt_free_buffer_pages(cc, clone);
		bio_put(clone);
		gfp_mask |= __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM;
		goto retry;
	}

	len = (remaining_size > PAGE_SIZE) ? PAGE_SIZE : remaining_size;

	bio_add_page(clone, page, len, 0);

	remaining_size -= len;
}

Anyway as your advise, I'm checking it in my test environment. There are no
problem by now yet. I'm testing with 1MB max_bio_bytes of SCSI, and UINT_MAX
max_bio_bytes of dm-crypt.

Thank you,
