This patch enables read IO from backing device. For the feature, it implements two IO read functions to transfer data from backing storage. One is asynchronous IO function and other is synchronous one. A reason I need synchrnous IO is due to partial write which need to complete read IO before the overwriting partial data. We can make the partial IO's case asynchronous, too but at the moment, I don't feel adding more complexity to support such rare use cases so want to go with simple.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
