[dm-devel] [PATCH 1/9] block: Make generic_make_request handle arbitrary sized bios

Kent,
The blk_queue_split(), splits a bio into at most two bios right? So,
if the original bio spans larger space than two bios can cover
(restriction by the lower driver in the stack), this might not work?
Am I reading it incorrectly?

Thanks!

Regards,
Muthu
