This patch series removes the use of buffer_heads from btrfs' super block read
and write paths. It also converts the integrity-checking code to only work
with pages and BIOs.
Compared to buffer heads, this gives us a leaner call path, as the
buffer_head code wraps around getting pages from the page-cache and adding
them to BIOs to submit.
The first patch removes buffer_heads from superblock reading. The second
removes it from super_block writing and the subsequent patches remove the
buffer_heads from the integrity check code.
It's based on misc-next from Wednesday January 22, and doesn't show any
regressions in xfstests to the baseline.
Changes to v2:
- Removed patch #1 again
- Added Reviews from Josef
- Re-visited page locking, but not changes, it retains the same locking scheme
the buffer_heads had
- Incroptorated comments from David regarding open-coding functions
- For more details see the idividual patches.
Changes to v1:
- Added patch #1
- Converted sb reading and integrity checking to use the page cache
- Added rationale behind the conversion to the commit messages.
- For more details see the idividual patches.
