    [XFS] Initial pass at going directly-to-bio on the buffered IO path. This · f6d6d4fc
    Christoph Hellwig 提交于
    allows us to submit much larger I/Os instead of sending down lots of small
    buffer_heads.  To do this we need to have a rather complicated I/O
    submission and completion tracking infrastructure.  Part of the latter has
    been merged already a long time ago for direct I/O support. Part of the
    problem is that we need to track sub-pagesize regions and for that we
    still need buffer_heads for the time beeing.  Long-term I hope we can move
    to better data strucutures and/or maybe move this to fs/mpage.c instead of
    having it in XFS.  Original patch from Nathan Scott with various updates
    from David Chinner and Christoph Hellwig.
