dm: fix bio splitting and its bio completion order for regular IO
dm_queue_split() is removed because __split_and_process_bio() _must_ handle splitting bios to ensure proper bio submission and completion ordering as a bio is split. Otherwise, multiple recursive calls to ->submit_bio will cause multiple split bios to be allocated from the same ->bio_split mempool at the same time. This would result in deadlock in low memory conditions because no progress could be made (only one bio is available in ->bio_split mempool). This fix has been verified to still fix the loss of performance, due to excess splitting, that commit 120c9257 provided. Fixes: 120c9257 ("Revert "dm: always call blk_queue_split() in dm_process_bio()"") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 5.0+, requires custom backport due to 5.9 changes Reported-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
