The code in _xfs_buf_ioapply is unnecessarily complicated because it doesn't take advantage of modern bio features. Simplify it by making use of bio splitting and chaining, that is build a single bio for the pages in the buffer using a simple loop, and then split that bio on the map boundaries for discontiguous multi-FSB buffers and chain the split bios to the main one so that there is only a single I/O completion. This not only simplifies the code to build the buffer, but also removes the need for the b_io_remaining field as buffer ownership is granted to the bio on submit of the final bio with no chance for a completion before that as well as the b_io_error field that is now superfluous because there always is exactly one completion.

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.
