36  * I/O completion handler for multipage BIOs.

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

341  * mpage_readahead - start reads against pages
342  * @rac: Describes which pages to read.
343  * @get_block: The filesystem's block mapper function.
344  *
345  * This function walks the pages and the blocks within each page, building and
346  * emitting large BIOs.
347  *
348  * If anything unusual happens, such as:
349  *
350  * - encountering a page which has buffers
351  * - encountering a page which has a non-hole after a hole
352  * - encountering a page with non-contiguous blocks
353  *
354  * then this code just gives up and calls the buffer_head-based read function.
355  * It does handle a page which has holes at the end - that is a common case:
356  * the end-of-file on blocksize < PAGE_SIZE setups.
357  *
358  * BH_Boundary explanation:
359  *
360  * There is a problem.  The mpage read code assembles several pages, gets all
361  * their disk mappings, and then submits them all.  That's fine, but obtaining
362  * the disk mappings may require I/O.  Reads of indirect blocks, for example.
363  *
364  * So an mpage read of the first 16 blocks of an ext2 file will cause I/O to be
365  * submitted in the following order:
366  *
367  * 	12 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 13 14 15 16
368  *
369  * because the indirect block has to be read to get the mappings of blocks
370  * 13,14,15,16.  Obviously, this impacts performance.
371  *
372  * So what we do it to allow the filesystem's get_block() function to set
373  * BH_Boundary when it maps block 11.  BH_Boundary says: mapping of the block
374  * after this one will require I/O against a block which is probably close to
375  * this one.  So you should push what I/O you have currently accumulated.
376  *
377  * This all causes the disk requests to be issued in the correct order.
