For the future large folio support, our filemap can have folios with
different sizes, thus we can no longer rely on a fixed blocks_per_page
value.
To prepare for that future, here we do:
- Remove btrfs_fs_info::sectors_per_page
- Introduce a helper, btrfs_blocks_per_folio()
Which uses the folio size to calculate the number of blocks for each
folio.
- Migrate the existing btrfs_fs_info::sectors_per_page to use that
helper
There are some exceptions:
* Metadata nodesize < page size support
In the future, even if we support large folios, we will only
allocate a folio that matches our nodesize.
Thus we won't have a folio covering multiple metadata unless
nodesize < page size.
* Existing subpage bitmap dump
We use a single unsigned long to store the bitmap.
That means until we change the bitmap dumping code, our upper limit
for folio size will only be 256K (4K block size, 64 bit unsigned
long).
* btrfs_is_subpage() check
This will be migrated into a future patch.

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 reStructuredText 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.
