[patch] page->buffers abstraction

From: Andrew Morton (akpm@zip.com.au)
Date: Wed Apr 10 2002 - 00:16:03 EST


page->buffers is a bit of a layering violation. Not all address_spaces
have pages which are backed by buffers.

The exclusive use of page->buffers for buffers means that a piece of
prime real estate in struct page is unavailable to other forms of
address_space.

This patch turns page->buffers into `unsigned long page->private' and
sets in place all the infrastructure which is needed to allow other
address_spaces to use this storage.

This change alows the multipage-bio-writeout patches to use
page->private to cache the results of an earlier get_block(), so
repeated calls into the filesystem are not needed in the case of file
overwriting.

Devlopers should think carefully before calling try_to_free_buffers()
or block_flushpage() or writeout_one_page() or waitfor_one_page()
against a page. It's only legal to do this if you *know* that the page
is buffer-backed. And only the address_space knows that.
Arguably, we need new a_ops for writeout_one_page() and
waitfor_one_page(). But I have more patches on the boil which
obsolete these functions in favour of ->writepage() and wait_on_page().

The new PG_private page bit is used to indicate that there
is something at page->private. The core kernel does not
know what that object actually is, just that it's there.
The kernel must call a_ops->releasepage() to try to make
page->private go away. And a_ops->flushpage() at truncate
time.

Patch applies to 2.5.8-pre3+ratcache+readahead
