[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 3/4] xen-blkback: check the number of iovecs before allocating a bios

[Roger Pau Monne <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx>]

With the introduction of indirect segments we can receive requests
with a number of segments bigger than the maximum number of allowed
iovecs in a bios, so make sure that blkback doesn't try to allocate a
bios with more iovecs than BIO_MAX_PAGES
