No, I submit all the bios and poll for the last one.

Could you benchmark it?

__split_and_process_bio calls __split_and_process_non_flush in a loop and
__split_and_process_non_flush records the poll cookie in ci.poll_cookie.
When we processed all the bios, we poll for the last cookie here:
if (ci.poll_cookie != BLK_QC_T_NONE) {
while (atomic_read(&ci.io->io_count) > 1 &&
blk_poll(ci.poll_queue, ci.poll_cookie, true)) ;
}
