io_import_kbuf() recalculates iter->nr_segs to reflect only the bvecs
needed for the requested byte range. This was added to provide an
accurate segment count to bio_iov_bvec_set(), which copied nr_segs to
bio->bi_vcnt for use as a bio split hint.
The previous two patches eliminated this dependency:
- bio_may_need_split() now uses bi_iter instead of bi_vcnt for split
decisions
- bio_iov_bvec_set() no longer copies nr_segs to bi_vcnt
Since nr_segs is no longer used for bio split decisions, the
recalculation loop is unnecessary. The iov_iter already has the correct
bi_size to cap iteration, so an oversized nr_segs is harmless.
