After commit e36f62042880(block: split bios to maxpossible length),
bio can be splitted in the middle of a vector entry, then it
is easy to split out one bio which size isn't aligned with block
size, especially when the block size is bigger than 512.

This patch fixes the issue by making the max io size aligned
to logical block size.

Looks better, thanks.

I'd suggest also moving the "max_sectors" variable into the
bio_for_each_segment() loop too just to keep variables with minimal
scope, but at least this is fairly legible.

Also:

this could be written as

        unsigned mask = queue_logical_block_size(q) - 1;

        sectors = sectors & ~(mask >> 9);

avoiding the extra shift. That also avoids the possible overflow that
that extra left-shift introduces. Hmm?

The value of max_sectors doesn't change in this function, so its
calculation could be done just once instead of with each segment
iteration.

Other than that, thanks Ming, the fix looks good to me. Third try's
a charm?

Why do you say that? It depends on the offset, so it clearly *does* change.

Now, if the patch did what I suggested and made max_sector and the cluster
size thing be separate, then *those* would indeed be constant over the whole
function.

The only "offset" used is the bio's start sector, which doesn't change.
