Revert "block, dm: don't copy bios for request clones"
This reverts commit 5f1b670d. Justification for revert as reported in this dm-devel post: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-June/msg00160.html this change should not be pushed to mainline yet. Firstly, Christoph has a newer version of the patch that fixes silent data corruption problem: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-May/msg00229.html And the new version still depends on LLDDs to always complete requests to the end when error happens, while block API doesn't enforce such a requirement. If the assumption is ever broken, the inconsistency between request and bio (e.g. rq->__sector and rq->bio) will cause silent data corruption: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-June/msg00022.htmlReported-by: Junichi Nomura <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
