Subject: [PATCH, RFC] ext4: Save stack space by removing fake buffer heads
Struct mpage_da_data and mpage_add_bh_to_extent() use a fake struct
buffer_head which is 104 bytes on an x86_64 system, but only use 24
bytes of the structure. On systems that use a spinlock for atomic_t,
the stack savings will be even greater.
It turns out that using a fake struct buffer_head doesn't even save
that much code, and it makes the code more confusing since it's not
used as a "real" buffer head. So just store pass b_size and b_state
in mpage_add_bh_to_extent(), and store b_size, b_state, and b_block_nr
in the mpage_da_data structure.
