md/raid5 needs to keep track of how many stripe_heads are processing a bio so that it can delay calling bio_endio() until all stripe_heads have completed. It currently uses 16 bits of ->bi_phys_segments for this purpose. 16 bits is only enough for 256M requests, and it is possible for a single bio to be larger than this, which causes problems. Also, the bio struct contains a larger counter, __bi_remaining, which has a purpose very similar to the purpose of our counter. So stop using ->bi_phys_segments, and instead use __bi_remaining. This means we don't need to initialize the counter, as our caller initializes it to '1'. It also means we can call bio_endio() directly as it tests this counter internally.

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.
