[PATCH 8/8] [RFC] xfs: don't release bios on completion immediately

Dave Chinner
2016-02-10T09:08:40Z

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

Completion of an ioend requires us to walk the bufferhead list to
end writback on all the bufferheads. This, in turn, is needed so
that we can end writeback on all the pages we just did IO on.

To remove our dependency on bufferheads in writeback, we need to
turn this around the other way - we need to walk the pages we've
just completed IO on, and then walk the buffers attached to the
pages and complete their IO. In doing this, we remove the
requirement for the ioend to track bufferheads directly.

To enable IO completion to walk all the pages we've submitted IO on,
we need to keep the bios that we used for IO around until the ioend
has been completed. We can do this simply by chaining the bios to
the ioend at completion time, and then walking their pages directly
just before destroying the ioend.
