Laurent, looks there is one bug in blk_bio_segment_split(), would you
mind testing the following patch to see if it fixes your issue?

Subject: [PATCH] block: fix segment split

Inside blk_bio_segment_split(), previous bvec pointer('bvprvp')
always points to the iterator local variable, which is obviously
wrong, so fix it by pointing to the local variable of 'bvprv'.

I'm still hitting the BUG even with this patch applied on top of 4.4-rc1.

OK, looks there are still other bugs, care to share us how to reproduce
it on arm64?

Unfortunately, the best reproducer I have is to boot the platform. I have seen the
BUG a few times post-boot, but I don't have a consistant reproducer. I am using
upstream 4.4-rc1 with this config:

  http://people.redhat.com/msalter/fh_defconfig

With 4.4-rc1 on an APM Mustang platform, I see the BUG about once every 6-7 boots.
On an AMD Seattle platform, about every 9 boots.

I have a script that loops through an ssh command to reboot the platform under test.
I manually install test kernels and then run the script and wait for failure. While
debugging, I have tried more minimal configs with which I have been unable to
reproduce the problem even after several hours of reboots. With the above mentioned
fh_defconfig, I have been able to get a failure within 20 or so boots with most
kernel builds but at certain kernel commits, the failure has taken a longer time to
reproduce.

From my POV, I can't say which commit causes the problem. So far, I have not been
able to reproduce at all before commit d9734e0d1ccf but I am currently trying to
reproduce with commit 0d51ce9ca1116 (one merge earlier than d9734e0d1ccf).

On my side, with the patch applied on top of 4.4-rc1, I can't get the
panic anymore.

git bisect shows:

bdced438acd83ad83a6c6fc7f50099b820245ddb is the first bad commit
commit bdced438acd83ad83a6c6fc7f50099b820245ddb
Author: Ming Lei <ming.lei@canonical.com>
Date:   Tue Oct 20 23:13:52 2015 +0800 

    block: setup bi_phys_segments after splitting

Reverting above commit on top if 4.4-rc1 seems to fix the problem for me.

That's what I mentioned earlier ;)

Now Ming send an additional patch with seems to fix the bug introduced
through the commit bdced438acd8. When testing with this new patch I
can't get the panic anymore, but Mark reported he is still hitting it.

Laurent, thanks for your test on the 1st patch, and looks there are at
least two problems, and my 2nd patch sent just now should address
Mark's issue which is caused by bdced438acd83a.

Once the 2nd one is tested OK, I will send out the two together.

Thanks,
Ming

Thanks Ming.
With both patches applied, I have been unable to reproduce the problem.
