Please send that patch out ASAP. > The next step would probably be to start using iomap_readpage / > iomap_readpages in gfs2 for block size == page size.

At least for block size == page size we will only call readpage on a pristine, newly allocated page. So buffer heads won't be in the game at that point, and the iomap buffered write code will just allocate them for you once we start a write operation, or take a page fault that makes the page writable.
