[dm-devel] [PATCH 0/4] dm: fix various issues with bio splitting code

Hi,

These mostly stable@ patches will be sent to Linus for 5.0-rc4
inclusion (would've sent today for 5.0-rc3 but I don't yet have
linux-next coverage).

Just wanted to give a heads up because some of the problems fixed
could bite other users of the bio_split()+generic_make_request()
recursive pattern.  We should probably factor out some helpers that
all users could share (e.g. so they don't forget to set
BIO_QUEUE_ENTERED or call trace_block_split(), etc).

Thanks,
Mike
