Currently, the splited bio is handled first, and then continue to split

This makes the bio almost 10% bigger in size, which is NOT something
that is just done casually and without strong reasoning.
Hi,
Thanks for taking time on this patchset, It's right this way is not
appropriate.
So please provide that, your commit message is completely missing
justification for why this change is useful or necessary. A good
commit always explains WHY the change needs to be made, yours is
simply stating WHAT is being done. The latter can be gleaned from
the code change anyway.
Thanks for the guidance, I'll pay attemtion to that carefully in future.
For this patch, what I want to do is to gain information about how many
tags will be needed for the big io before getting the first tag, and use
that information to optimize wake up path. The problem in this patch is
that adding two feilds in bio is a bad move.
I was thinking that for segment split, I can get the information by
caculating bio segments / queue max segments.
Thanks,
Kuai
