Commit Message

David Howells June 20, 2024, 5:31 p.m. UTC
Use the new sheaf structures to simplify the writeback code.  The problem
with referring to the i_pages xarray directly is that we may have gaps in
the sequence of folios we're writing from that we need to skip when we're
removing the writeback mark from the folios we're writing back from.

At the moment the code tries to deal with this by carefully tracking the
gaps in each writeback stream (eg. write to server and write to cache) and
divining when there's a gap that spans folios (something that's not helped
by folios not being a consistent size).

Instead, the sheaf buffer contains pointers only the folios we're dealing
with, has them in ascending order and indicates a gap by placing
non-consequitive folios next to each other.  This makes it possible to
track where we need to clean up to by just keeping track of where we've
processed to on each stream and taking the minimum.
