  • Device mapper saves and restores various fields in the bio, but it doesn't save
    bi_io_vec. If the device driver modifies this after a partially successful
    request, dm-raid1 and dm-multipath may attempt to resubmit a bio that has
    bi_size inconsistent with the size of vector.

    To make requests resubmittable in dm-raid1 and dm-multipath, we must save
    and restore the bio vector as well.

    To reduce the memory overhead involved in this, we do not save the pages in a
    vector and use a 16-bit field size if the page size is less than 65536.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
