Subject: [PATCH 2/3] xfs: don't use ioends for direct write completions

See http://www.infradead.org/rpr.html

We only need to communicate two bits of information to the direct I/O
completion handler:

 (1) do we need to convert any unwritten extents in the range
 (2) do we need to check if we need to update the inode size based
     on the range passed to the completion handler

We can use the private data passed to the get_block handler and the
completion handler as a simple bitmask to communicate this information
instead of the current complicated infrastructure reusing the ioends
from the buffer I/O path, and thus avoiding a memory allocation and
a context switch for any non-trivial direct write.  As a nice side
effect we also decouple the direct I/O path implementation from that
of the buffered I/O path.

- * When we map a DIO buffer, we may need to attach an ioend that describes the

- * This avoids the unnecessary overhead of allocating and freeing ioends for
- * workloads that don't require transactions on IO completion.

- * If we get multiple mappings in a single IO, we might be mapping different
- * types. But because the direct IO can only have a single private pointer, we
- * need to ensure that:
- *
- * a) i) the ioend spans the entire region of unwritten mappings; or
- *    ii) the ioend spans all the mappings that cross or are beyond EOF; and
- * b) if it contains unwritten extents, it is *permanently* marked as such
- *
- * We could do this by chaining ioends like buffered IO does, but we only
- * actually get one IO completion callback from the direct IO, and that spans
- * the entire IO regardless of how many mappings and IOs are needed to complete
- * the DIO. There is only going to be one reference to the ioend and its life
- * cycle is constrained by the DIO completion code. hence we don't need
- * reference counting here.
+ * When we map a DIO buffer, we may need to pass flags to
+ * xfs_end_io_direct_write to tell it what kind of write IO we are doing.
