This is a thin wrapper around bio_add_page(). The main advantage here is the documentation that stupidly large folios are not supported. It's not currently possible to allocate stupidly large folios, but if it ever becomes possible, this function will fail gracefully instead of doing I/O to the wrong bytes.
Might be better with UINT_MAX instead of stupidly here, because then it immediately makes sense. Can you make a change to that effect? With that: Reviewed-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> -- Jens Axboe
