[PATCH] dm: bio split fix
The block layer does not honour bio->bi_size when issuing io, instead it performs io to the complete bvecs. This means we have to change the bio splitting code slightly. Given a bio we repeatedly apply one of the following three operations until there is no more io left in the bio: 1) The remaining io does not cross an io/target boundary, so just create a clone and issue all of the io. 2) There are some bvecs at the start of the bio that are not split by a target boundary. Create a clone for these bvecs only. 3) The first bvec needs splitting, use bio_alloc() to create *two* bios, one for the first half of the bvec, the other for the second half. A bvec can never contain more than one boundary.
