This patch landed in linux-next 20210426 as commit 42fb54fbc707 ("bio: 
limit bio max size"). Sadly it causes the following regression during 
boot on my test systems:

I have also noticed that an eMMC test we have started failing
today and bisect is pointing to this commit. Reverting this
change fixes it. The signature is a bit different to the
above, but nonetheless seems to be causing problems ...
