    ore: Fix wrong math in allocation of per device BIO · aad560b7
    Boaz Harrosh authored
    At IO preparation we calculate the max pages at each device and
    allocate a BIO per device of that size. The calculation was wrong
    on some unaligned corner cases offset/length combination and would
    make prepare return with -ENOMEM. This would be bad for pnfs-objects
    that would in that case IO through MDS. And fatal for exofs were it
    would fail writes with EIO.
    
    Fix it by doing the proper math, that will work in all cases. (I
    ran a test with all possible offset/length combinations this time
    round).
    
    Also when reading we do not need to allocate for the parity units
    since we jump over them.
    
    Also lower the max_io_length to take into account the parity pages
    so not to allocate BIOs bigger than PAGE_SIZE
