Introduce a new data inodes specific subpage member, writers, to record how many sectors are under page lock for delalloc writing. This member acts pretty much the same as readers, except it's only for delalloc writes. This is important for delalloc code to trace which page can really be freed, as we have cases like run_delalloc_nocow() where we may exit processing nocow range inside a page, but need to exit to do cow half way. In that case, we need a way to determine if we can really unlock a full page. With the new btrfs_subpage::writers, there is a new requirement: - Page locked by process_one_page() must be unlocked by process_one_page() There are still tons of call sites manually lock and unlock a page, without updating btrfs_subpage::writers. So if we lock a page through process_one_page() then it must be unlocked by process_one_page() to keep btrfs_subpage::writers consistent. This will be handled in next patch.

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.
