[ Upstream commit 0aa69fd32a5f766e997ca8ab4723c5a1146efa8b ] For the upcoming removal of buffer heads in XFS we need to keep track of the number of outstanding writeback requests per page. For this we need to know if bio_add_page merged a region with the previous bvec or not. Instead of adding additional arguments this refactors bio_add_page to be implemented using three lower level helpers which users like XFS can use directly if they care about the merge decisions.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
