[RFC PATCH 0/8] Btrfs: Subpagesize-blocksize: Get rid of whole page I/O
This patchset continues with the work posted earlier at
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org/msg32143.html. The
following are the high level changes brought in by this patchset:
1. Rewrite 'extent buffer' handling code to incorporate comments posted
to
Chandra Seetharaman's patchset
<http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org/msg29534.html>.
2. Compute and look up checksums for data extents in sectorsize units.
Xfstests' generic tests were run on an x86_64 machine with the patches
applied.
On multiple runs of the tests with 4k blocksize, 'umount' process would
sometimes get blocked indefinitely causing 'hung task detector' to print
the
function call trace. Also, there are occasional instances where warning
messages from btree_invalidatepage() is being printed to indicate that
PG_private flag of a page is still set.
For 2k blocksize only a few Xfstests' generic tests pass.
The following is a list of known TODO items which will be implemented in
future revisions of this patchset:
1. Create separate slab caches for 'extent buffer head' and 'extent
buffer'.
2. Add 'leak list' tracking for 'extent buffer' instances.
3. Rename EXTENT_BUFFER_TREE_REF and EXTENT_BUFFER_IN_TREE to
EXTENT_BUFFER_HEAD_TREE_REF and EXTENT_BUFFER_HEAD_IN_TREE respectively.
4. Remove usage of bvec->{bv_offset, bv_len} from end_bio_extent_readpage()
end_bio_extent_writepage() and btrfs_csum_one_bio.
5. Get Xfstests' generic tests to successfully run on both 4k and 2k
blocksizes.
