32 * I/O completion handler for multipage BIOs.
34 * The mpage code never puts partial pages into a BIO (except for end-of-file).
35 * If a page does not map to a contiguous run of blocks then it simply falls
36 * back to block_read_full_page().
38 * Why is this? If a page's completion depends on a number of different BIOs
39 * which can complete in any order (or at the same time) then determining the
40 * status of that page is hard. See end_buffer_async_read() for the details.
41 * There is no point in duplicating all that complexity.

319 * pages have their ->index populated and are otherwise uninitialised.
320 * The page at @pages->prev has the lowest file offset, and reads should be
321 * issued in @pages->prev to @pages->next order.
322 * @nr_pages: The number of pages at *@pages
323 * @get_block: The filesystem's block mapper function.
325 * This function walks the pages and the blocks within each page, building and
326 * emitting large BIOs.
328 * If anything unusual happens, such as:
330 * - encountering a page which has buffers
331 * - encountering a page which has a non-hole after a hole
332 * - encountering a page with non-contiguous blocks
334 * then this code just gives up and calls the buffer_head-based read function.
335 * It does handle a page which has holes at the end - that is a common case:
336 * the end-of-file on blocksize < PAGE_CACHE_SIZE setups.
338 * BH_Boundary explanation:
340 * There is a problem. The mpage read code assembles several pages, gets all
341 * their disk mappings, and then submits them all. That's fine, but obtaining
342 * the disk mappings may require I/O. Reads of indirect blocks, for example.
344 * So an mpage read of the first 16 blocks of an ext2 file will cause I/O to be
345 * submitted in the following order:
346 * 12 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 13 14 15 16
348 * because the indirect block has to be read to get the mappings of blocks
349 * 13,14,15,16. Obviously, this impacts performance.
351 * So what we do it to allow the filesystem's get_block() function to set
352 * BH_Boundary when it maps block 11. BH_Boundary says: mapping of the block
353 * after this one will require I/O against a block which is probably close to
354 * this one. So you should push what I/O you have currently accumulated.
356 * This all causes the disk requests to be issued in the correct order.
