bio_split_rw is designed to split read and write bios with a payload. Currently it is called by __bio_split_to_limits for all operations not explicitly list, which works because bio_may_need_split explicitly checks for bi_vcnt == 1 and thus skips the bypass if there is no payload and bio_for_each_bvec loop will never execute it's body if bi_size is 0. But all this is hard to understand, fragile and wasted pointless cycles. Switch __bio_split_to_limits to only call bio_split_rw for READ and WRITE command and don't attempt any kind split for operation that do not require splitting.

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 reStructuredText 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.
