This reverts commit effd58c95f.
blk_queue_split() is causing excessive IO splitting -- because
blk_max_size_offset() depends on 'chunk_sectors' limit being set and
if it isn't (as is the case for DM targets!) it falls back to
splitting on a 'max_sectors' boundary regardless of offset.
"Fix" this by reverting back to _not_ using blk_queue_split() in
dm_process_bio() for normal IO (reads and writes). Long-term fix is
still TBD but it should focus on training blk_max_size_offset() to
call into a DM provided hook (to call DM's max_io_len()).
Test results from simple misaligned IO test on 4-way dm-striped device
with chunksize of 128K and stripesize of 512K:
xfs_io -d -c 'pread -b 2m 224s 4072s' /dev/mapper/stripe_dev

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
