struct bioctx includes the ref refcount_t to track the number of I/O
fragments used to process a target BIO as well as ensure that the zone
of the BIO is kept in the active state throughout the lifetime of the
BIO. However, since decrementing of this reference count is done in the
target .end_io method, the function bio_endio() must be called multiple
times for read and write target BIOs, which causes problems with the
value of the __bi_remaining struct bio field for chained BIOs (e.g. the
clone BIO passed by dm core is large and splits into fragments by the
block layer), resulting in incorrect values and inconsistencies with the
BIO_CHAIN flag setting. This is turn triggers the BUG_ON() call:
BUG_ON(atomic_read(&bio->__bi_remaining) <= 0);
in bio_remaining_done() called from bio_endio().
Fix this ensuring that bio_endio() is called only once for any target
BIO by always using internal clone BIOs for processing any read or
write target BIO. This allows reference counting using the target BIO
context counter to trigger the target BIO completion bio_endio() call
once all data, metadata and other zone work triggered by the BIO
complete.
Overall, this simplifies the code too as the target .end_io becomes
unnecessary and differences between read and write BIO issuing and
completion processing disappear.

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.
