commit ee1dfad5325ff1cfb2239e564cd411b3bfe8667a upstream.
dm_queue_split() is removed because __split_and_process_bio() _must_ handle splitting bios to ensure proper bio submission and completion ordering as a bio is split.
Otherwise, multiple recursive calls to ->submit_bio will cause multiple split bios to be allocated from the same ->bio_split mempool at the same time. This would result in deadlock in low memory conditions because no progress could be made (only one bio is available in ->bio_split mempool).
This fix has been verified to still fix the loss of performance, due to excess splitting, that commit 120c9257f5f1 provided.
