I think this way is fine, just a little comment.

The new parameter should have been named as 'max_segment_len' or
'max_seg_len'.

Even we might pass '-1' for multi-page segment.

Looks 'max_segment' needs to be constant, shouldn't be updated.

If '-1' is passed for multipage case, the above change may become:

		segment_len = min_t(segment_len, max_seg_len - bvec_iter_offset(bv, *iter));

This way is more clean, but with extra cost of the above line for multipage
case.
