Hi Mike, would you mind further expalin why bio processed by dm_wq_work()
always gets a previous ->submit_bio. Considering the following call graph:

->submit_bio, that is, dm_submit_bio
  DMF_BLOCK_IO_FOR_SUSPEND set, thus queue_io()

then worker thread dm_wq_work()
  dm_process_bio  // at this point. the input bio is the original bio
                     submitted to dm device

Please let me know if I missed something.

Thanks.
Jeffle


Original commit log:
dm_process_bio() can be called by dm_wq_work(), and if the currently
processing bio is the very beginning bio submitted to the dm device,
that is it has not been handled by previous ->submit_bio, then we also
need to impose the queue_limits when it's in thread (dm_wq_work()).

Fixes: cf9c37865557 ("dm: fix comment in dm_process_bio()")
Fixes: 568c73a355e0 ("dm: update dm_process_bio() to split bio if in 
->make_request_fn()")
