    block: Remove bi_idx hacks · e90abc8e
    Kent Overstreet 提交于
    Now that drivers have been converted to the new bvec_iter primitives,
    there's no need to trim the bvec before we submit it; and we can't trim
    it once we start sharing bvecs.
    
    It used to be that passing a partially completed bio (i.e. one with
    nonzero bi_idx) to generic_make_request() was a dangerous thing -
    various drivers would choke on such things. But with immutable biovecs
    and our new bio splitting that shares the biovecs, submitting partially
    completed bios has to work (and should work, now that all the drivers
    have been completed to the new primitives)
