When I ran dynamic debug, I encountered a NULL pointer dereference bug in add_stripe_bio(). Prior to second call to pr_debug(), @bi was reused in order to check whether the request is partial write or not, and it could lead to set @bi to NULL. Since we save original @bi pointer into local variable 'bip', use it instead of NULL-able @bi. Also changed confusing 'bh' to 'bi' in the first message.
