    IB/iser: set block queue_virt_boundary · dd0107a0
    Sagi Grimberg 提交于
    The block layer can reliably guarantee that SG lists won't
    contain gaps (page unaligned) if a driver set the queue
    virt_boundary.
    
    With this setting the block layer will:
    - refuse merges if bios are not aligned to the virtual boundary
    - split bios/requests that are not aligned to the virtual boundary
    - or, bounce buffer SG_IOs that are not aligned to the virtual boundary
    
    Since iser is working in 4K page size, set the virt_boundary to
    4K pages. With this setting, we can now safely remove the bounce
    buffering logic in iser.
