xen-blkback: check the number of iovecs before allocating a bios
With the introduction of indirect segments we can receive requests with a number of segments bigger than the maximum number of allowed iovecs in a bios, so make sure that blkback doesn't try to allocate a bios with more iovecs than BIO_MAX_PAGES Signed-off-by: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@citrix.com> Cc: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
