It looks not good to call bio_poll() with holding rcu read lock,
since set_page_dirty_lock() may sleep from end_io code path.

blk_rq_unmap_user
	bio_release_pages
		__bio_release_pages
			set_page_dirty_lock
				lock_page

Probably you need to move dirtying pages into wq context, such as
bio_check_pages_dirty(), then I guess pt io poll perf may drop.

Maybe we need to investigate how to remove the rcu read lock here.

Same with above.
