<title>bio: Fix bio_first_folio() for SPARSEMEM without VMEMMAP</title>

<id>f826ec7966a63d48e16e0868af4e038bf9a1a3ae</id>
<content type='text'>
It is possible for physically contiguous folios to have discontiguous
struct pages if SPARSEMEM is enabled and SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is not.
This is correctly handled by folio_page_idx(), so remove this open-coded
implementation.

<title>scsi: sd_zbc: block: Respect bio vector limits for REPORT ZONES buffer</title>

<id>e8007fad5457ea547ca63bb011fdb03213571c7e</id>
<content type='text'>
The REPORT ZONES buffer size is currently limited by the HBA's maximum
segment count to ensure the buffer can be mapped. However, the block
layer further limits the number of iovec entries to 1024 when allocating
a bio.

To avoid allocation of buffers too large to be mapped, further restrict
the maximum buffer size to BIO_MAX_INLINE_VECS.

Replace the UIO_MAXIOV symbolic name with the more contextually
appropriate BIO_MAX_INLINE_VECS.

<title>block: split struct bio_integrity_payload</title>

<id>105ca2a2c2ff2c8df0e334d6913d62eec1973dd3</id>
<content type='text'>
Many of the fields in struct bio_integrity_payload are only needed for
the default integrity buffer in the block layer, and the variable
sized array at the end of the structure makes it very hard to embed
into caller allocated structures.

Reduce struct bio_integrity_payload to the minimal structure needed in
common code and create two separate containing structures for the
automatically generated payload and the caller allocated payload.
The latter is a simple wrapper for struct bio_integrity_payload and
the bvecs, while the former contains the additional fields moved out
of struct bio_integrity_payload.

Always use a dedicated mempool for automatic integrity metadata
instead of depending on bio_set that is submitter controlled and thus
often doesn't have the mempool initialized and stop using mempools for
the submitter buffers as they aren't in the NOIO I/O submission path
where we need to guarantee forward progress.

Lift bio_split_rw_at into blk_rq_append_bio so that it validates the
hardware limits.  With this all passthrough callers can simply add
bio_add_page to build the bio and delay checking for exceeding of limits
to this point instead of doing it for each page.

While this looks like adding a new expensive loop over all bio_vecs,
blk_rq_append_bio is already doing that just to counter the number of
segments.

Since commit 43b62ce3ff0a ("block: move bio io prio to a new field"), macro
bio_set_prio() does nothing but set bio-&gt;bi_ioprio. All other places just
set bio-&gt;bi_ioprio directly, so replace bio_set_prio() remaining
callsites with setting bio-&gt;bi_ioprio directly and delete that macro.
