Good day,

please review ...

thanks, Alex


basic delayed allocation in VFS:

 * block_prepare_write() can be passed special ->get_block() which
   doesn't allocate blocks, but reserve them and mark bh delayed
 * a filesystem can use mpage_da_writepages() with other ->get_block()
   which doesn't defer allocation. mpage_da_writepages() finds all
   non-allocated blocks and try to allocate them with minimal calls
   to ->get_block(), then submit IO using __mpage_writepage()

+ *
+ * In order to avoid duplication of logic that deals with partial pages,
+ * multiple bio per page, etc, we find non-allocated blocks, allocate
+ * them with minimal calls to ->get_block() and re-use __mpage_writepage()
+ *
+ * It's important that we call __mpage_writepage() only once for each
+ * involved page, otherwise we'd have to implement more complicated logic
+ * to deal with pages w/o PG_lock or w/ PG_writeback and so on.
