I do like the new implementation. I think the function is broken before and after tho. Allocating from fs_bio_set from block layer is never safe and nothing seems to prevent multiple allocators compete in the bounce page mempool. This will need a separate bioset and the multiple mempool allocation would have to be put inside a mutex. Also, how was this tested?
