NeilBrown 868f604b1d md/linear: improve bio splitting.
linear_make_request() uses fs_bio_set, which is meant for filesystems
to use, and loops, possible allocating  from the same bio set multiple
times.
These behaviors can theoretically cause deadlocks, though as
linear requests are hardly ever split, it is unlikely in practice.

Change to use mddev->bio_set - otherwise unused for linear, and submit
the tail of a split request to generic_make_request() for it to
handle.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
