    dm cache: submit writethrough writes in parallel to origin and cache · 2df3bae9
    Mike Snitzer authored
    Discontinue issuing writethrough write IO in series to the origin and
    then cache.
    
    Use bio_clone_fast() to create a new origin clone bio that will be
    mapped to the origin device and then bio_chain() it to the bio that gets
    remapped to the cache device.  The origin clone bio does _not_ have a
    copy of the per_bio_data -- as such check_if_tick_bio_needed() will not
    be called.
    
    The cache bio (parent bio) will not complete until the origin bio has
    completed -- this fulfills bio_clone_fast()'s requirements as well as
    the requirement to not complete the original IO until the write IO has
    completed to both the origin and cache device.
