Thanks! I saw that and had every intention of copying it across.
And then I forgot. I'll add that. I'm also going to do:
- __bio_try_merge_page(bio, bh->b_page, bh->b_size,
- bh_offset(bh), &same_page))
+ bio_add_page(bio, bh->b_page, bh->b_size,
+ bh_offset(bh)))
I wonder about allocating bios that can accommodate more bvecs. Not sure
how often filesystems have adjacent blocks which go into non-adjacent
sub-page blocks. It's certainly possible that a filesystem might have
a page consisting of DDhhDDDD ('D' for Data, 'h' for hole), but how
likely is it to have written the two data chunks next to each other?
Maybe with O_SYNC?
Anyway, this patchset needs some more thought because I've just seen
the path from mpage_readahead() to block_read_full_page() that should
definitely not be synchronous.
