Ummm, silly question, but exactly how are we getting a bio that large in ->writepages getting built? Even with 64kB pages, that's a bio with 2^16 pages attached to it. We shouldn't be building single bios in writeback that large - what storage hardware is allowing such huge bios to be built? (i.e. can you dump all the values in /sys/block/<dev>/queue/* for that device for us?) Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner da...@fromorbit.com
