When merging one bvec into segment, if the bvec is too big to merge, current policy is to move the whole bvec into another new segment. This patchset changes the policy into trying to maximize size of front segments, that means in above situation, part of bvec is merged into current segment, and the remainder is put into next segment. This patch prepares for support multipage bvec because it can be quite common to see this case and we should try to make front segments in full size.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
