iomap: add support for sub-pagesize buffered I/O without buffer heads
After already supporting a simple implementation of buffered writes for the blocksize == PAGE_SIZE case in the last commit this adds full support even for smaller block sizes. There are three bits of per-block information in the buffer_head structure that really matter for the iomap read and write path: - uptodate status (BH_uptodate) - marked as currently under read I/O (BH_Async_Read) - marked as currently under write I/O (BH_Async_Write) Instead of having new per-block structures this now adds a per-page structure called struct iomap_page to track this information in a slightly different form: - a bitmap for the per-block uptodate status. For worst case of a 64k page size system this bitmap needs to contain 128 bits. For the typical 4k page size case it only needs 8 bits, although we still need a full unsigned long due to the way the atomic bitmap API works. - two atomic_t counters are used to track the outstanding read and write counts There is quite a bit of boilerplate code as the buffered I/O path uses various helper methods, but the actual code is very straight forward.
