Changing the bitmap page is also possible on the page where the DMA is
being performed or scheduled in the MD.
Are you guys actually using the whacky bitmap feature?  If so, this
really is the least of our problems and you need to invest some real
work into it to get it off ->bmap and into using ->read_iter and
->write_iter.  Right now Song has a series from me queued up to
deprecated it.

I also don't think a simple wait for existing writers prevents you
from other modifications, but maybe I'm issing something.
Hi, Christoph.

I think the way to write bitmap page like you should be changed.
This patch is a simple workaround in the current system.

I will check the patches you provided for bitmap processing.

Thank you for your review.

Best Regards,
Jinyoung.
