Goldwyn Rodrigues f85781fb50 btrfs: switch to iomap for direct IO
We're using direct io implementation based on buffer heads. This patch
switches to the new iomap infrastructure.

Switch from __blockdev_direct_IO() to iomap_dio_rw().  Rename
btrfs_get_blocks_direct() to btrfs_dio_iomap_begin() and use it as
iomap_begin() for iomap direct I/O functions. This function allocates
and locks all the blocks required for the I/O.  btrfs_submit_direct() is
used as the submit_io() hook for direct I/O ops.

Since we need direct I/O reads to go through iomap_dio_rw(), we change
file_operations.read_iter() to a btrfs_file_read_iter() which calls
btrfs_direct_IO() for direct reads and falls back to
generic_file_buffered_read() for incomplete reads and buffered reads.

We don't need address_space.direct_IO() anymore: set it to noop.

Similarly, we don't need flags used in __blockdev_direct_IO(). iomap is
capable of direct I/O reads from a hole, so we don't need to return
-ENOENT.

Btrfs direct I/O is now done under i_rwsem, shared in case of reads and
exclusive in case of writes. This guards against simultaneous truncates.

Use iomap->iomap_end() to check for failed or incomplete direct I/O:

  - for writes, call __endio_write_update_ordered()
  - for reads, unlock extents

btrfs_dio_data is now hooked in iomap->private and not
current->journal_info. It carries the reservation variable and the
amount of data submitted, so we can calculate the amount of data to call
__endio_write_update_ordered in case of an error.

This patch removes last use of struct buffer_head from btrfs.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
