[PATCH 1/3] block: improve the gap check in __bio_add_pc_page

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Date: 2019-08-12 15:40:05
Subsystem: block layer, the rest · Maintainers: Jens Axboe, Linus Torvalds

If we can add more data into an existing segment we do not create a gap
per definition, so move the check for a gap after the attempt to merge
into the segment.
