[PATCH 1/4] add pre-io callback to struct xfs_buf

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>]

[-- Attachment #1: xfs-buf-writeback-callout --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2226 bytes --]

From: Dave Chinner <dgc@sgi.com>

Enable a buffer "pre-io" callback to allow the contents of
a buffer to be checked or modified just before writeback occurs.
This is how we'll calculate CRCS on metadata buffers.
