Series btrfs: remove buffer heads form superblock handling | expand

Commit Message

Johannes Thumshirn Feb. 7, 2020, 7:20 a.m. UTC
Super-block reading in BTRFS is done using buffer_heads. Buffer_heads have
some drawbacks, like not being able to propagate errors from the lower
layers.

Directly use the page cache for reading the super-blocks from disk or
invalidating an on-disk super-block. We have to use the page-cache so to
avoid races between mkfs and udev. See also 6f60cbd3ae44 ("btrfs: access
superblock via pagecache in scan_one_device").

Changes to v4:
- Remove mapping_gfp_constraint() and GFP_NOFAIL (hch)

Changes to v3:
- Use read_cache_pages() and write_one_page() for IO (hch)
- Changed subject (David)
- Dropped Josef's R-b due to change

Changes to v2:
- open-code kunmap() + put_page() (David)
- fix double kunmap() (David)
- don't use bi_set_op_attrs() (David)

Changes to v1:
- move 'super_page' into for-loop in btrfs_scratch_superblocks() (Nikolay)
- switch to using pagecahce instead of alloc_pages() (Nikolay, David)

You don't use page_offset(bytenr) here but you do it in
btrfs_scratch_superblocks. I'm aware that this could be omitted entirely
since the sb is always aligned on a 4k. But in this case either you omit
it everywhere or you use it everywhere for the sake of consistency.

read_cache_page can return an error from ->readpage as well. Also
looking at do_read_cache_page it doesn't seem like it can return a NULL
pointer.
