-Subject: dm crypt: constrain crypt device's max_segment_size to PAGE_SIZE
-
-Setting the dm-crypt device's max_segment_size to PAGE_SIZE is an
-unfortunate constraint that is required to avoid the potential for
-exceeding dm-crypt's underlying device's max_segments limits -- due to
-crypt_alloc_buffer() possibly allocating pages for the encryption bio
-that are not as physically contiguous as the original bio.
-
-It is interesting to note that this problem was already fixed back in
-2007 via commit 91e106259 ("dm crypt: use bio_add_page").  But Linux 4.0
-commit cf2f1abfb ("dm crypt: don't allocate pages for a partial
-request") regressed dm-crypt back to _not_ using bio_add_page().  But
-given dm-crypt's cpu parallelization changes all depend on commit
-cf2f1abfb's abandoning of the more complex io fragments processing that
-dm-crypt previously had we cannot easily go back to using
-bio_add_page().
-
-So all said the cleanest way to resolve this issue is to fix dm-crypt to
-properly constrain the original bios entering dm-crypt so the encryption
-bios that dm-crypt generates from the original bios are always
-compatible with the underlying device's max_segments queue limits.
-
-It should be noted that technically Linux 4.3 does _not_ need this fix
-because of the block core's new late bio-splitting capability.  But, it
-is reasoned, there is little to be gained by having the block core split
-the encrypted bio that is composed of PAGE_SIZE segments.  That said, in
-the future we may revert this change.
