btrfs: only unlock the to-be-submitted ranges inside a folio
[SUBPAGE COMPRESSION LIMITS]
Currently inside writepage_delalloc(), if a delalloc range is going to
be submitted asynchronously (inline or compression, the page
dirty/writeback/unlock are all handled in at different time, not at the
submission time), then we return 1 and extent_writepage() will skip the
submission.
This is fine if every sector matches page size, but if a sector is
smaller than page size (aka, subpage case), then it can be very
problematic, for example for the following 64K page:
0 16K 32K 48K 64K
|/| |///////| |/|
| |
4K 52K
Where |/| is the dirty range we need to submit.
In the above case, we need the following different handling for the 3
ranges:
- [0, 4K) needs to be submitted for regular write
A single sector cannot be compressed.
- [16K, 32K) needs to be submitted for compressed write
- [48K, 52K) needs to be submitted for regular write.
Above, if we try to submit [16K, 32K) for compressed write, we will
return 1 and immediately, and without submitting the remaining
[48K, 52K) range.
Furthermore, since extent_writepage() will exit without unlocking any
sectors, the submitted range [0, 4K) will not have sector unlocked.
That's the reason why for now subpage is only allowed for full page
range.
[ENHANCEMENT]
- Introduce a submission bitmap at btrfs_bio_ctrl::submit_bitmap
This records which sectors will be submitted by extent_writepage_io().
This allows us to track which sectors needs to be submitted thus later
to be properly unlocked.
For asynchronously submitted range (inline/compression), the
corresponding bits will be cleared from that bitmap.
- Only return 1 if no sector needs to be submitted in
writepage_delalloc()
- Only submit sectors marked by submission bitmap inside
extent_writepage_io()
So we won't touch the asynchronously submitted part.
- Introduce btrfs_folio_end_writer_lock_bitmap() helper
This will only unlock the involved sectors specified by @bitmap
parameter, to avoid touching the range asynchronously submitted.
Please note that, since subpage compression is still limited to page
aligned range, this change is only a preparation for future sector
perfect compression support for subpage.
