[Drbd-dev] [PATCH v5 08/12] block: Introduce new bio_split()

[Kent Overstreet]

The new bio_split() can split arbitrary bios - it's not restricted to
single page bios, like the old bio_split() (previously renamed to
bio_pair_split()). It also has different semantics - it doesn't allocate
a struct bio_pair, leaving it up to the caller to handle completions.

v5: Take out current->bio_list check and make it the caller's
responsibility, per Boaz

 /**
+ * bio_split - split a bio
+ * @bio:	bio to split
+ * @sectors:	number of sectors to split from the front of @bio
+ * @gfp:	gfp mask
+ * @bs:		bio set to allocate from
+ *
+ * Allocates and returns a new bio which represents @sectors from the start of
+ * @bio, and updates @bio to represent the remaining sectors.
+ *
+ * If bio_sectors(@bio) was less than or equal to @sectors, returns @bio
+ * unchanged.
+ *
+ * The newly allocated bio will point to @bio's bi_io_vec, if the split was on a
+ * bvec boundry; it is the caller's responsibility to ensure that @bio is not
+ * freed before the split.
+ *
+ * BIG FAT WARNING:
+ *
+ * If you're calling this from under generic_make_request() (i.e.
+ * current->bio_list != NULL), you should mask out __GFP_WAIT and punt to
+ * workqueue if the allocation fails. Otherwise, your code will probably
+ * deadlock.
+ *
+ * You can't allocate more than once from the same bio pool without submitting
+ * the previous allocations (so they'll eventually complete and deallocate
+ * themselves), but if you're under generic_make_request() those previous
+ * allocations won't submit until you return . And if you have to split bios,
+ * you should expect that some bios will require multiple splits.
