I finished bisecting. Here’s the responsible commit:

commit 61697a6abd24acba941359c6268a94f4afe4a53d
Author: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx>

    dm: eliminate 'split_discard_bios' flag from DM target interface
    
    There is no need to have DM core split discards on behalf of a DM target
    now that blk_queue_split() handles splitting discards based on the
    queue_limits.  A DM target just needs to set max_discard_sectors,
    discard_granularity, etc, in queue_limits.

Maybe the assumptions taken here ("A DM target just needs to set max_discard_sectors, discard_granularity, etc, in queue_limits.”) isn’t valid in my case? Does anyone have an idea?
