For example, more than 16K stack is consumed in a single bio complete path[3], and in [2] stack overflow can be triggered if 20 nested dm-crypt is used. Also patches[1] [2] [3] were posted for addressing the issue, but never be merged. And the idea in these patches is basically similar, all serializes the recursive calling of .bi_end_io() by percpu list. This patch still takes the same idea, but uses bio_list to implement it, which turns out more simple and the code becomes more readable meantime. One corner case which wasn't covered before is that bi_endio() may be scheduled to run in process context(such as btrfs), and this patch just bypasses the optimizing for that case because one new context should have enough stack space, and this approach isn't capable of optimizing it too because there isn't easy way to get a per-task linked list head. xfstests(-g auto) is run with this patch and no regression is found on ext4, xfs and btrfs.
