The patch backports commit 59d43914ed7b96255271ad6b7b735344beffa3c0 from mainline:

    vfs: make guard_bh_eod() more generic

    This patchset implements readpages() operation for block device by using
    mpage_readpages() which can create multipage BIOs instead of BIOs for each
    page and reduce system CPU time consumption.

    This patch (of 3):

    guard_bh_eod() is used in submit_bh() to allow us to do IO even on the odd
    last sectors of a device, even if the block size is some multiple of the
    physical sector size.  This makes guard_bh_eod() more generic and renames
    it guard_bio_eod() so that we can use it without struct buffer_head
    argument.

    The reason for this change is that using mpage_readpages() for block
    device requires to add this guard check in mpage code.
