well, where's patch v2?  i don't see it in my inbox.  i'm not going
to go hunting around the email lists for it.  this is not good enough.

what?

here's the patch you sent.  these two functions do wildly different
things:

+bool BIO_ADD_FOLIO(struct bio *bio, struct folio *folio, size_t len,
+		size_t off)
+{
+	int class, level, hint, activity;
+
+	if (len > UINT_MAX || off > UINT_MAX)
+		return false;
+
+	class = IOPRIO_PRIO_CLASS(bio->bi_ioprio);
+	level = IOPRIO_PRIO_LEVEL(bio->bi_ioprio);
+	hint = IOPRIO_PRIO_HINT(bio->bi_ioprio);
+	activity = IOPRIO_PRIO_ACTIVITY(bio->bi_ioprio);
+
+	activity += (bio->bi_vcnt + 1 <= IOPRIO_NR_ACTIVITY &&
+			PageWorkingset(&folio->page)) ? 1 : 0;
+	if (activity >= bio->bi_vcnt / 2)
+		class = IOPRIO_CLASS_RT;
+	else if (activity >= bio->bi_vcnt / 4)
+		class = max(IOPRIO_PRIO_CLASS(get_current_ioprio()), IOPRIO_CLASS_BE);
+
+	bio->bi_ioprio = IOPRIO_PRIO_VALUE_ACTIVITY(class, level, hint, activity);
+
+	return bio_add_page(bio, &folio->page, len, off) > 0;
+}
+
+int BIO_ADD_PAGE(struct bio *bio, struct page *page,
+		unsigned int len, unsigned int offset)
+{
+	int class, level, hint, activity;
+
+	if (bio_add_page(bio, page, len, offset) > 0) {
+		class = IOPRIO_PRIO_CLASS(bio->bi_ioprio);
+		level = IOPRIO_PRIO_LEVEL(bio->bi_ioprio);
+		hint = IOPRIO_PRIO_HINT(bio->bi_ioprio);
+		activity = IOPRIO_PRIO_ACTIVITY(bio->bi_ioprio);
+		activity += (bio->bi_vcnt <= IOPRIO_NR_ACTIVITY && PageWorkingset(page)) ? 1 : 0;
+		bio->bi_ioprio = IOPRIO_PRIO_VALUE_ACTIVITY(class, level, hint, activity);
+	}
+
+	return len;
+}

did you change one and forget to change the other?

vim doesn't do that by default.
