A rescuing bioset is only useful if there might be bios from that same bioset on the bio_list_on_stack queue at a time when bio_alloc_bioset() is called. This never applies to q->bio_split. Allocations from q->bio_split are only ever made from blk_queue_split() which is only ever called early in each of various make_request_fn()s. The original bio (call this A) is then passed to generic_make_request() and is placed on the bio_list_on_stack queue, and the bio that was allocated from q->bio_split (B) is processed. The processing of this may cause other bios to be passed to generic_make_request() or may even cause the bio B itself to be passed, possible after some prefix has been split off (using some other bioset). generic_make_request() now guarantees that all of these bios (B and dependants) will be fully processed before the tail of the original bio A gets handled. None of these early bios can possible trigger an allocation from the original q->bio_split as they are either too small to require splitting or (more likely) are destined for a different queue. The next time that the original q->bio_split might be used by this thread is when A is processed again, as it might still be too big to handle directly. By this time there cannot be any other bios allocated from q->bio_split in the generic_make_request() queue. So no rescuing will ever be needed.

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.
