Patches can be fetched from github:
https://github.com/adam900710/linux/tree/subpage

Currently btrfs only allows to mount fs with sectorsize == PAGE_SIZE.

That means, for 64K page size system, they can only use 64K sector size
fs.
This brings a big compatible problem for btrfs.

This patch is going to slightly solve the problem by, allowing 64K
system to mount 4K sectorsize fs in read-only mode.

The main objective here, is to remove the blockage in the code base, and
pave the road to full RW mount support.

== What works ==

Existing regular page sized sector size support
Subpage read-only Mount (with all self tests and ASSERT)
Subpage metadata read (including all trees and inline extents, and csum checking)
Subpage uncompressed data read (with csum checking)

== What doesn't work ==

Read-write mount (see the subject)
Compressed data read

== Challenge we meet ==

The main problem is metadata, where we have several limitations:
- We always read the full page of a metadata
  In subpage case, one full page can contain several tree blocks.

- We use page::private to point to extent buffer
  This means we currently can only support one-page-to-one-extent-buffer
  mapping.
  For subpage size support, we need one-page-to-multiple-extent-buffer
  mapping.


== Solutions ==

So here for the metadata part, we use the following methods to
workaround the problem:

- Completely rely on extent_io_tree for metadata status/locking
  Now for subpage metadata, page::private is never utilized. It always
  points to NULL.
  And we only utilize private page status, other status
  (locked/uptodate/dirty/...) are all ignored.

  Instead, page lock is replayed by EXTENT_LOCK of extent_io_tree.
  Page uptodate is replaced by EXTENT_UPTODATE of extent_io_tree.
  And if a range has extent buffer is represented by EXTENT_NEW.

  This provides the full potential for later RW support.

- Do subpage read for metadata
  Now we do proper subpage read for both data and metadata.
  For metadata we never merge bio for adjacent tree blocks, but always
  submit one bio for one tree block.
  This allows us to do proper verification for each tree blocks.

For data part, it's pretty simple, all existing infrastructure can be
easily converted to support subpage read, without any subpage specific
handing yet.

== Patchset structure ==

The structure of the patchset:
Patch 01~15: Preparation patches for data and metadata subpage read support.
             These patches can be merged without problem, and work for
             both regular and subpage case.
	     This part can conflict with Nikolay's latest cleanup, but
	     the conflicts should be pretty controllable.

Patch 16~19: Patches for metadata subpage read support.
	     The main part of the patchset. It converts metadata to
	     purely extent_io_tree based solution for subpage read.

	     In theory, page sized routine can also be converted to
	     extent_io_tree. But that would be another topic in the
	     future.

The number of patches is the main reason I'm submitting them to the mail
list. As there are too many preparation patches already.
