From: Michael Lyle mlyle@lyle.org

commit 62530ed8b1d07a45dec94d46e521c0c6c2d476e6 upstream.

A new field was introduced in 74d46992e0d9, bi_partno, instead of using bdev->bd_contains and encoding the partition information in the bi_bdev field. __bio_clone_fast was changed to copy the disk information, but not the partition information. At minimum, this regressed bcache and caused data corruption.
