Thanks a lot. I understand the purpose.
So is the original judgment process too complicated?  Can we judge bi_size directly?  This will be more concise

@@ -423,7 +423,7 @@ static bool check_should_bypass(struct cached_dev *dc, struct bio *bio)
        add_sequential(task);
        i->sequential = 0;
 found:
-       if (i->sequential + bio->bi_iter.bi_size > i->sequential)
+       if (!bio->bi_iter.bi_size)
                i->sequential   += bio->bi_iter.bi_size;

        i->last                  = bio_end_sector(bio);

Thanks
Fengfei

NACK. The check is necessary to avoid redundant and unnecessary memory write.
