In commit19416123ab("block: define 'struct bvec_iter' as packed"), what we need is to save the 4byte padding, and avoid `bio` to spread on one extra cache line. It is enough to define it as '__packed __aligned(4)', as '__packed' alone means byte aligned, and can cause compiler to generate horrible code on architectures that don't support unaligned access in case that bvec_iter is embedded in other structures.

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 Restructured Text 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.
