commit e4b469c66f3cbb81c2e94d31123d7bcdf3c1dabd upstream. A previous commit aligning splits to physical block sizes inadvertently modified one return case such that that it now returns 0 length splits when the number of sectors doesn't exceed the physical offset. This later hits a BUG in bio_split(). Restore the previous working behavior.

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.
