从nfs_page结构看PNFS读写流程

在pnfs中，每个radix tree 中page的private指针都会指向一个nfs_page结构，在代码中的变量名通常是req,即为读写请求，事实上，其存在的意义也是读写请求。

创建函数：

/**
 * nfs_create_request - Create an NFS read/write request.
 * @file: file descriptor to use
 * @inode: inode to which the request is attached
 * @page: page to write
 * @offset: starting offset within the page for the write
 * @count: number of bytes to read/write
 *
 * The page must be locked by the caller. This makes sure we never
 * create two different requests for the same page.
 * User should ensure it is safe to sleep in this function.
 */
struct nfs_page *
nfs_create_request(struct nfs_open_context *ctx, struct inode *inode,
           struct page *page,
           unsigned int offset, unsigned int count, void *fsdata)
{
    struct nfs_page        *req;

    for (;;) {
        /* try to allocate the request struct */
        req = nfs_page_alloc();
        if (req != NULL)
            break;

        if (fatal_signal_pending(current))
            return ERR_PTR(-ERESTARTSYS);
        yield();
    }

    /* Initialize the request struct. Initially, we assume a
     * long write-back delay. This will be adjusted in
     * update_nfs_request below if the region is not locked. */
    req->wb_page    = page;
    atomic_set(&req->wb_complete, 0);
    req->wb_index    = page->index;
    page_cache_get(page);
    BUG_ON(PagePrivate(page));
    BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page));
    BUG_ON(page->mapping->host != inode);
    req->wb_offset  = offset;
    req->wb_pgbase    = offset;
    req->wb_bytes
