For btrfs_submit_compressed_read() and btrfs_submit_compressed_write(),
we have a pretty weird dance around compressed_bio::pending_bios:
btrfs_submit_compressed_read/write()
{
cb = kmalloc()
refcount_set(&cb->pending_bios, 0);
bio = btrfs_alloc_bio();
/* NOTE here, we haven't yet submitted any bio */
refcount_set(&cb->pending_bios, 1);
for (pg_index = 0; pg_index < cb->nr_pages; pg_index++) {
if (submit) {
/* Here we submit bio, but we always have one
* extra pending_bios */
refcount_inc(&cb->pending_bios);
ret = btrfs_map_bio();
}
}
/* Submit the last bio */
ret = btrfs_map_bio();
}
There are two reasons why we do this:
- compressed_bio::pending_bios is a refcount
Thus if it's reduced to 0, it can not be increased again.
- To ensure the compressed_bio is not freed by some submitted bios
If the submitted bio is finished before the next bio submitted,
we can free the compressed_bio completely.
But the above code is sometimes confusing, and we can do it better by
introducing a new member, compressed_bio::pending_sectors.
Now we use compressed_bio::pending_sectors to indicate whether we have
any pending sectors under IO or not yet submitted.
If pending_sectors == 0, we're definitely the last bio of compressed_bio,
and is OK to release the compressed bio.
Now the workflow looks like this:
btrfs_submit_compressed_read/write()
{
cb = kmalloc()
atomic_set(&cb->pending_bios, 0);
refcount_set(&cb->pending_sectors,
compressed_len >> sectorsize_bits);
bio = btrfs_alloc_bio();
for (pg_index = 0; pg_index < cb->nr_pages; pg_index++) {
if (submit) {
refcount_inc(&cb->pending_bios);
ret = btrfs_map_bio();
}
}
/* Submit the last bio */
refcount_inc(&cb->pending_bios);
ret = btrfs_map_bio();
}
For now we still need pending_bios for later error handling, but will
remove pending_bios eventually after properly handling the errors.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
