[PATCH V14 00/15] Btrfs: Subpagesize-blocksize: Allow I/O on blocks whose size is less than page size.

[Chandan Rajendra <chandan@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Btrfs assumes block size to be the same as the machine's page
size. This would mean that a Btrfs instance created on a 4k page size
machine (e.g. x86) will not be mountable on machines with larger page
sizes (e.g. PPC64/AARCH64). This patchset aims to resolve this
incompatibility.

This patchset continues with the work posted previously at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/52408.

I have reverted the upstream commit "btrfs: fix lockups from
btrfs_clear_path_blocking" (f82c458a2c3ffb94b431fc6ad791a79df1b3713e)
since this led to soft-lockups when the patch "Btrfs:
subpagesize-blocksize: Prevent writes to an extent buffer when
PG_writeback flag is set" is applied. During 2015's Vault Conference
Btrfs meetup, Chris Mason had suggested that he will write up a
suitable locking function to be used when writing dirty pages that map
metadata blocks. Until we have a suitable locking function available,
this patchset temporarily disables the commit
f82c458a2c3ffb94b431fc6ad791a79df1b3713e.

The commits for the Btrfs kernel module can be found at
https://github.com/chandanr/linux/tree/btrfs/subpagesize-blocksize.

To create a filesystem with block size < page size, a patched version
of the Btrfs-progs package is required. The corresponding fixes for
Btrfs-progs can be found at
https://github.com/chandanr/btrfs-progs/tree/btrfs/subpagesize-blocksize.

Fstests run status:
1. x86_64
   - With 4k sectorsize, all the tests that succeed with
     linux-btrfs/integration-4.5 branch also do so with the patches
     applied.
   - With 2k sectorsize, all the *generic* tests that succeed with
     linux-btrfs/integration-4.5 branch also do so with the patches
     applied.
2. ppc64
   - With 4k sectorsize, 16k nodesize and with "nospace_cache" mount
     option, all the *generic* tests that succeed with
     linux-btrfs/integration-4.5 branch also do so with the patches
     applied.
   - With 64k sectorsize & nodesize, all the tests that succeed with
     linux-btrfs/integration-4.5 branch also do so with the patches
     applied.

Changes from V13:
1. Enable dedup ioctl to work in subpagesize-blocksize scenario.

Changes from V12:
1. The logic in the function btrfs_punch_hole() has been fixed to
   check for the presence of BLK_STATE_UPTODATE flags for blocks in
   pages which partially map the file range being punched.
   
Changes from V11:
1. Addressed the review comments provided by Liu Bo for version V11.
2. Fixed file defragmentation code to work in subpagesize-blocksize
   scenario.
3. Many "hard to reproduce" bugs were fixed.
