Subject: dm: always allow one page in dm_merge_bvec
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc9~48^2~2
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5037108acd4dc40c210321cc83b0bf8352eda95a;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-stable.git

dm: always allow one page in dm_merge_bvec

Some callers assume they can always add at least one page to an empty bio,
so dm_merge_bvec should not return 0 in this case: we'll reject the I/O
later after the bio is submitted.
