Subject: [RFC 1/3] block: Context support
From: Saugata Das <saugata.das@...aro.org>
On eMMC and UFS devices there is a new feature of setting context with each
read or write. The idea is to classify the data from different files and
apply the realibility on the complete file instead of individual writes,
which helps in performance. A new address space operation has been a added
to get the context from file system and set up the bi_context field in bio.
Then we need to ensure that bio from different contexts are not merged. The
context is then passed to the underlying driver as part of the read or write
request. Since the number of MMC contexts is limited, multiple file system
contexts are mapped to single MMC context.
