The blk-mq dma iterator has an optimization for requests that align to the device's iommu merge boundary. This boundary may be larger than the device's virtual boundary, but the code had been depending on that queue limit to know ahead of time if the request is guaranteed to align to that optimization. Rather than rely on that queue limit, which many devices may not report, save the lowest set bit of any boundary gap between each segment in the bio while checking the segments. The request stores the value for merging and quickly checking per io if the request can use iova optimizations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
