Hi Ming, I've received a blktrace from our customer showing the issue [1]. In this example trace they've submitted (contiguous) 64K I/Os and without this patch, they're seeing a lot of splits as indicated by the trace. With the patch applied the I/O is directly issued to the LLDD without the splits.
