I think you misunderstood it. The goal of this patch is to split the
current situation into two chains (or one unchained bio + a series of
chained bio). The first one is an attempt/trial which makes sure that
the latter large bio chain can actually be handled (as per the
"command capability" of the device).

Oh, I think I do get what you're trying to do. And, in fact, I don't argue with what you're trying to achieve.

What I would like to see, though, is keep the current bio_chain logic intact (irrespective of your previous patch, which should actually be part of this series), and just lift the first check out of the loop:

(The error checking from submit_bio_wait() could be improved :-)
