It doesn't work in my test environment. Actually the following fix
should be applied.


@@ -1390,6 +1403,8 @@ static int clone_bio(struct dm_target_io *tio,
struct bio *bio,
        if (bio_integrity(bio))
                bio_integrity_trim(clone);

+       clone->bi_opf &= ~REQ_SAVED_END_IO;
+
        return 0;
 }


The rationale is that, REQ_SAVED_END_IO should be cleared once the bio
*passes through* the device stack layer. Or the cloned bio for next
layer will inherit REQ_SAVED_END_IO flag, in which case
'cloned_bio->bi_end_io' (actually acts as the hlist head) won't be
initialized in dm_setup_polled_io(), and thus it gets crashed when
trying to insert into this hash list in __split_and_process_bio().
