Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Change a argument of disk_map_sector_rcu() to hd_part->start_sect
 from req->__sector

From: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@...fujitsu.com>

PROBLEM:

The previous patch does not fix the problem completely, since the problem occurs
on following case.

When sdX region is between sdX1 partition and sdX2 partition, a sdX region's
I/O is merged sdX1 partition's I/O or sdX2 partition's I/O.

1. sdX region is between sdX1 partition and sdX2 partition

    sdX1 partition   sdX region   sdX1 partition
  |----------------|------------|----------------|

2. issue a sdX region's I/O and increment a in_flight of sdX

    sdX1 partition   sdX region   sdX1 partition
  |----------------|------------|----------------|
                    <-   I/O  ->

3. issue a sdX1 partition's I/O

    sdX1 partition   sdX region   sdX1 partition
  |----------------|------------|----------------|
       <-   I/O  -> <-   I/O  ->

4. merge a sdX1 partition's I/O and a sdX region's I/O, since the previous patch
   cannot care this case.

    sdX1 partition   sdX region   sdX1 partition
  |----------------|------------|----------------|
       <-         I/O         ->

5. finish a I/O and decrement a in_flight of sdX1 even though it was not
   incremented

HOW TO FIX:

The patch fixes avobe case by changing a argument of disk_map_sector_rcu().

The problem also is caused by merging different partition's I/Os. But, it is not easy
to fix, when I/O is sdX region. So the patch allows step 4, when I/O is only sdX
region. But, it does not change a result of disk_map_sector_rcu() by using partition's
start sector ot original I/O , even if the I/O is merged.
