Subject: [PATCH 1/1] block: Set same_page to false in __bio_try_merge_page if ret is false
Date:   Fri, 21 Aug 2020 23:41:17 +0530
Message-Id: <e50582833c897c1a51a676d7726d1380a3e5a678.1598032711.git.riteshh@linux.ibm.com>

If we hit the UINT_MAX limit of bio->bi_iter.bi_size and so we are anyway
not merging this page in this bio, then it make sense to make same_page
also as false before returning.

Without this patch, we hit below WARNING in iomap.
This mostly happens with very large memory system and / or after tweaking
vm dirty threshold params to delay writeback of dirty data.
