    btrfs: introduce compressed_bio::pending_sectors to trace compressed bio · 6ec9765d

    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.
