Commit 003b5c57 ("block: Convert drivers to immutable biovecs") broke dm-mirror due to dm-io breakage. dm-io had three possible iterators (DM_IO_PAGE_LIST, DM_IO_BVEC, DM_IO_VMA) that iterate over pages where the I/O should be performed. The switch to immutable biovecs changed the DM_IO_BVEC iterator to DM_IO_BIO. Before this change the iterator stored the pointer to a bio vector in the dpages structure. The iterator incremented the pointer in the dpages structure as it advanced over the pages. After the immutable biovecs change, the DM_IO_BIO iterator stores a pointer to the bio in the dpages structure and uses bio_advance to change the bio as it advances. The problem is that the function dispatch_io stores the content of the dpages structure into the variable old_pages and restores it before issuing I/O to each of the devices. Before the change, the statement "*dp = old_pages;" restored the iterator to its starting position. After the change, struct dpages holds a pointer to the bio, thus the statement "*dp = old_pages;" doesn't restore the iterator. Consequently, in the context of dm-mirror: only the first mirror leg is written correctly, the kernel locks up when trying to write the other mirror legs because the number of sectors to write in the where->count variable doesn't match the number of sectors returned by the iterator. This patch fixes the bug by partially reverting the original patch - it changes the code so that struct dpages holds a pointer to the bio vector, so that the statement "*dp = old_pages;" restores the iterator correctly. The field "context_u" holds the offset from the beginning of the current bio vector entry, just like the "bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done" field.
