    Btrfs: checksum file data at bio submission time instead of during writepage · 065631f6
    Chris Mason 提交于
    When we checkum file data during writepage, the checksumming is done one
    page at a time, making it difficult to do bulk metadata modifications
    to insert checksums for large ranges of the file at once.
    
    This patch changes btrfs to checksum on a per-bio basis instead.  The
    bios are checksummed before they are handed off to the block layer, so
    each bio is contiguous and only has pages from the same inode.
    
    Checksumming on a bio basis allows us to insert and modify the file
    checksum items in large groups.  It also allows the checksumming to
    be done more easily by async worker threads.
