bio_max_segs kaps the argument to BIO_MAX_VECS, so you might as well
directly write BIO_MAX_VECS. Can you explain the PAGE_SECTORS here a bit
more? Does this code path use discontiguous per-sector allocations?
Preferably in a comment.

Also I don't really understand the units involved here.
s->insert_bio_sectors, sectors, and bio_sectors is in unit of 512 byte
sectors.

Overly long line.
