If only a subset of the devices associated with multiple regions support a given special operation (eg. DISCARD) then the dec_count() that is used to set error for the region must increment the io->count. Otherwise, when the dec_count() is called it can cause the dm-io caller's bio to be completed multiple times. As was reported against the dm-mirror target that had mirror legs with a mix of discard capabilities.
