To remove use of extent_map::bdev we need to find a replacement, and the
latest_bdev is the only one we can use here, because inode::i_bdev and
superblock::s_bdev are NULL.
The DIO code uses bdev in two places:
* to read blocksize to perform alignment checks in
do_blockdev_direct_IO, but we do them in btrfs code before any call to
DIO
* in the following call chain:
do_direct_IO
get_more_blocks
sdio->get_block() <-- this is btrfs_get_blocks_direct
subsequently the map_bh->b_dev member is used in clean_bdev_aliases
and dio_new_bio to set the bio's bdev to that of the buffer_head.
However, because we have provided a submit function dio_bio_submit
calls our submission function and ignores the bdev.
So it's safe to pass any valid bdev that's used within the filesystem.

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.
