Instead of returning an inconclusive value of NULL for an error in calling bio_split(), return a ERR_PTR() always. Also remove the BUG_ON() calls, and WARN_ON_ONCE() instead. Indeed, since almost all callers don't check the return code from bio_split(), we'll crash anyway (for those failures). Fix up the only user which checks bio_split() return code today (directly or indirectly), blk_crypto_fallback_split_bio_if_needed(). The md/bcache code does check the return code in cached_dev_cache_miss() -> bio_next_split() -> bio_split(), but only to see if there was a split, so there would be no change in behaviour here (when returning a ERR_PTR()).

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.
