Re: [PATCH stable/5.4..5.8] nvme-mpath: replace direct_make_request with generic_make_request

Hence, we need to fix all the kernels that were before submit_bio_noacct was
introduced.

Why can we not just add submit_bio_noacct to the 5.4 kernel to correct
this?  What commit id is that?

Hey Greg,

submit_bio_noacct was applied as part of a rework by Christoph that I
didn't feel was suitable as a stable candidate. The commit-id is:
ed00aabd5eb9fb44d6aff1173234a2e911b9fead

submit_bio_noacct really is just a new name for generic_make_request,
as the old one was horribly misleading.  So this does use
submit_bio_noacct, just with its old name.

commit ed00aabd5eb9fb44d6aff1173234a2e911b9fead does not apply
cleanly on any of these kernels, so I think it's better to take this
small one-liner instead of trying to fit a commit that changes the
name treewide.

Greg, what is your preference? backporting
ed00aabd5eb9fb44d6aff1173234a2e911b9fead to the various kernels
or to take this isolated one?
