The helper btrfs_bio_alloc() is almost the same as btrfs_io_bio_alloc(),
except it's allocating using BIO_MAX_VECS as @nr_iovecs, and initialize
bio->bi_iter.bi_sector.

However the naming itself is not using "btrfs_io_bio" to indicate its
parameter is "strcut btrfs_io_bio" and can be easily confused with
"struct btrfs_bio".

Considering assigned bio->bi_iter.bi_sector is such a simple work and
there are already tons of call sites doing that manually, there is no
need to do that in a helper.

Remove btrfs_bio_alloc() helper, and enhance btrfs_io_bio_alloc()
function to provide a fail-safe value for its @nr_iovecs.

And then replace all btrfs_bio_alloc() callers with
btrfs_io_bio_alloc().

After reading through the whole patch I agree with the naming, though
yeah it's a bit long, but we've been using this wordy naming. For
identifiers it's fine to use lbio and it's now clear from the context
that it's about the btrfs-specific features.(struct btrfs_io_bio
*btrfs_bio)

hell no! How come passing 0 actually means BIO_MAX_VEC. Instead of
having 0 everywhere and have the function translate this to
BIO_MAX_VECS, simply pass BIO_MAX_VECS in every call site where it's
needed.
That's part of the feedback I want.

I'm not yet determined on which should be the proper way.

Yes, we can pass BIO_MAX_VEC for call sites which doesn't care about the
vector size.

But I also think letting callers to bother less is a good idea.
(one of the few moments I think function overriding can be very useful
here)

If you have objection, I'm pretty happy to change the behavior, and just
do an ASSERT() to catch any values larger than BIO_MAX_VECS.
This sounds much better, in the worst case it should be -1 which treated
as the "max" and definitely not 0. I don't think 0 has been used as a
special value to mean "max" anywhere.

David, please either fix the patch in the tree or retract it. Let's try
and refrain from adding such "gems" to the code base.
