[PATCH] Make BH_Unwritten a first class bufferhead flag V2
Currently, XFS uses BH_PrivateStart for flagging unwritten extent state in a bufferhead. Recently, I found the long standing mmap/unwritten extent conversion bug, and it was to do with partial page invalidation not clearing the unwritten flag from bufferheads attached to the page but beyond EOF. See here for a full explaination: http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-12/msg00196.html The solution I have checked into the XFS dev tree involves duplicating code from block_invalidatepage to clear the unwritten flag from the bufferhead(s), and then calling block_invalidatepage() to do the rest. Christoph suggested that this would be better solved by pushing the unwritten flag into the common buffer head flags and just adding the call to discard_buffer(): http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-12/msg00239.html The following patch makes BH_Unwritten a first class citizen.
