Thanks for testing! And very sorry about the bug.

I'm sure that you hit the same bug with 2.6.30-rc3-git.

Jens, can you please apply this against 2.6.30-rc (and we need this
for 2.6.29.x too)?

I know that bio_copy_user_iov() is hacky. I'll try to clean up the
mapping API later.

Subject: [PATCH] bio: fix memcpy corruption in bio_copy_user_iov()

st driver uses blk_rq_map_user() in order to just build a request out
of page frames. In this case, map_data->offset is a non zero value and
iov[0].iov_base is NULL. We need to increase nr_pages for that.
