Provide helpers for file systems to split bios in the direct I/O and writeback I/O submission handlers. The split ioends are chained to the parent ioend so that only the parent ioend originally generated by the iomap layer will be processed after all the chained off children have completed. This is based on the block layer bio chaining that has supported a similar mechanism for a long time. This Follows btrfs' lead and don't try to build bios to hardware limits for zone append commands, but instead build them as normal unconstrained bios and split them to the hardware limits in the I/O submission handler.

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.
