iomap: add support for sub-pagesize buffered I/O without buffer heads
After already supporting a simple implementation of buffered writes for
the blocksize == PAGE_SIZE case in the last commit this adds full support
even for smaller block sizes. There are three bits of per-block
information in the buffer_head structure that really matter for the iomap
read and write path:
- uptodate status (BH_uptodate)
- marked as currently under read I/O (BH_Async_Read)
- marked as currently under write I/O (BH_Async_Write)
Instead of having new per-block structures this now adds a per-page
structure called struct iomap_page to track this information in a slightly
different form:
- a bitmap for the per-block uptodate status. For worst case of a 64k
page size system this bitmap needs to contain 128 bits. For the
typical 4k page size case it only needs 8 bits, although we still
need a full unsigned long due to the way the atomic bitmap API works.
- two atomic_t counters are used to track the outstanding read and write
counts
There is quite a bit of boilerplate code as the buffered I/O path uses
various helper methods, but the actual code is very straight forward.
