[PATCH 15/16] drbd: get rid of bio_split, allow bios of "arbitrary" size

From: Philipp Reisner
Date: Thu Sep 08 2011 - 08:46:27 EST


From: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg@xxxxxxxxxx>

Where "arbitrary" size is currently 1 MiB, which is the BIO_MAX_SIZE
for architectures with 4k PAGE_CACHE_SIZE (most).
