To support subpage sector size, data also need extra info to make sure which sectors in a page are uptodate/dirty/... This patch will make pages for data inodes get btrfs_subpage structure attached, and detached when the page is freed. This patch also slightly changes the timing when set_page_extent_mapped() is called to make sure: - We have page->mapping set page->mapping->host is used to grab btrfs_fs_info, thus we can only call this function after page is mapped to an inode. One call site attaches pages to inode manually, thus we have to modify the timing of set_page_extent_mapped() a bit. - As soon as possible, before other operations Since memory allocation can fail, we have to do extra error handling. Calling set_page_extent_mapped() as soon as possible can simply the error handling for several call sites. The idea is pretty much the same as iomap_page, but with more bitmaps for btrfs specific cases. Currently the plan is to switch iomap if iomap can provide sector aligned write back (only write back dirty sectors, but not the full page, data balance require this feature). So we will stick to btrfs specific bitmap for now. Signed-off-by: Qu Wenruo <wqu@suse.com> Reviewed-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
