    xfs: separate buffer indexing from block map · cbb7baab
    Dave Chinner 提交于
    To support discontiguous buffers in the buffer cache, we need to
    separate the cache index variables from the I/O map. While this is
    currently a 1:1 mapping, discontiguous buffer support will break
    this relationship.
    
    However, for caching purposes, we can still treat them the same as a
    contiguous buffer - the block number of the first block and the
    length of the buffer - as that is still a unique representation.
    Also, the only way we will ever access the discontiguous regions of
    buffers is via bulding the complete buffer in the first place, so
    using the initial block number and entire buffer length is a sane
    way to index the buffers.
    
    Add a block mapping vector construct to the xfs_buf and use it in
    the places where we are doing IO instead of the current
    b_bn/b_length variables.
