block: Improvements to bounce-buffer handling
Since commit 23688bf4 ("block: ensure to split after potentially bouncing a bio") blk_queue_bounce() is called *before* blk_queue_split(). This means that: 1/ the comments blk_queue_split() about bounce buffers are irrelevant, and 2/ a very large bio (more than BIO_MAX_PAGES) will no longer be split before it arrives at blk_queue_bounce(), leading to the possibility that bio_clone_bioset() will fail and a NULL will be dereferenced. Separately, blk_queue_bounce() shouldn't use fs_bio_set as the bio being copied could be from the same set, and this could lead to a deadlock. So: - allocate 2 private biosets for blk_queue_bounce, one for splitting enormous bios and one for cloning bios. - add code to split a bio that exceeds BIO_MAX_PAGES. - Fix up the comments in blk_queue_split() Credit-to: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> (suggested using single bio_for_each_segment loop) Reviewed-by:Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Reviewed-by:
