/**
* bio_alloc_bioset - allocate a bio for I/O
* @gfp_mask: the GFP_ mask given to the slab allocator
* @nr_iovecs: number of iovecs to pre-allocate
* @bs: the bio_set to allocate from.
*
* Description:
* If @bs is NULL, uses kmalloc() to allocate the bio; else the allocation is
* backed by the @bs's mempool.
*
* When @bs is not NULL, if %__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is set then bio_alloc will
* always be able to allocate a bio. This is due to the mempool guarantees.
* To make this work, callers must never allocate more than 1 bio at a time
* from this pool. Callers that need to allocate more than 1 bio must always
* submit the previously allocated bio for IO before attempting to allocate
* a new one. Failure to do so can cause deadlocks under memory pressure.
*
* Note that when running under generic_make_request() (i.e. any block
* driver), bios are not submitted until after you return - see the code in
* generic_make_request() that converts recursion into iteration, to prevent
* stack overflows.
*
* This would normally mean allocating multiple bios under
* generic_make_request() would be susceptible to deadlocks, but we have
* deadlock avoidance code that resubmits any blocked bios from a rescuer
* thread.
*
* However, we do not guarantee forward progress for allocations from other
* mempools. Doing multiple allocations from the same mempool under
* generic_make_request() should be avoided - instead, use bio_set's front_pad
* for per bio allocations.
*
* RETURNS:
* Pointer to new bio on success, NULL on failure.
