bio_add_hw_page currently always fails or succeeds. This is fine for the existing callers that always add PAGE_SIZE worth given that the max_segment_size and max_sectors must always allow at least a page worth of data. But when we want to add it for bigger amounts of data this means it can also fail when adding the data to a bio, and creating a fallback for that becomes really annoying in the callers. Make use of the existing API design that allows to return a smaller length than the one passed in and add up to max_segment_size worth of data from a larger input. All the existing callers are fine with this - not because they handle this return correctly, but because they never pass more than a page in.

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.
