[PATCH 1/2] loop: use blk_rq_nr_phys_segments() instead of iterating bvecs
From: Caleb Sander Mateos
Date: Sat Nov 08 2025 - 18:01:27 EST
The number of bvecs can be obtained directly from struct request's
nr_phys_segments field via blk_rq_nr_phys_segments(), so use that
instead of iterating over the bvecs an extra time.
