In the worst case, there are _4_ layers of bios in the Btrfs direct I/O path: 1. The bio created by the generic direct I/O code (dio_bio). 2. A clone of dio_bio we create in btrfs_submit_direct() to represent the entire direct I/O range (orig_bio). 3. A partial clone of orig_bio limited to the size of a RAID stripe that we create in btrfs_submit_direct_hook(). 4. Clones of each of those split bios for each RAID stripe that we create in btrfs_map_bio(). As of the previous commit, the second layer (orig_bio) is no longer needed for anything: we can split dio_bio instead, and complete dio_bio directly when all of the cloned bios complete. This lets us clean up a bunch of cruft, including dip->subio_endio and dip->errors (we can use dio_bio->bi_status instead). It also enables the next big cleanup of direct I/O read repair.

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.
