Again, what are those limitations being removed and why and at what
cost?

Maybe naming it @split is better?

Please explain what this means.

Please don't indent assignments.

I find the code a bit confusing. Wouldn't it be better to structure
it as
bio_for_each_segment() {
find splitting point;
}
Do all of the splitting.

I personally would prefer not having indentations here either.

So, before, split wouldn't override orig->bi_private. Now, it does so
while the bio is in flight. I don't know. If the only benefit of
temporary override is avoiding have a separate end_io call, I think
not doing so is better. Also, behavior changes as subtle as this
*must* be noted in the patch description.

And it would be super-nice if you can add /** comment here too.

I know fs/bio.c isn't a bastion of good style but let's try improve it
bit by bit. It's generally considered a bad style to put a statement
which may fail in local var declaration. IOW, please do,
struct bio *split;
split = bio_split();
if (!split)
return NULL;

BIO_SPLIT_ENTRIES is probably something dependent on how splits can
stack, so I don't think we want to change that to BIO_POOL_SIZE.
Thanks.
