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.

Byte,
Johannes
