  31 * I/O completion handler for multipage BIOs.
  32 *
  33 * The mpage code never puts partial pages into a BIO (except for end-of-file).
  34 * If a page does not map to a contiguous run of blocks then it simply falls
  35 * back to block_read_full_page().
  36 *
  37 * Why is this?  If a page's completion depends on a number of different BIOs
  38 * which can complete in any order (or at the same time) then determining the
  39 * status of that page is hard.  See end_buffer_async_read() for the details.
  40 * There is no point in duplicating all that complexity.

 346 * then this code just gives up and calls the buffer_head-based read function.
 347 * It does handle a page which has holes at the end - that is a common case:
 348 * the end-of-file on blocksize < PAGE_CACHE_SIZE setups.
 349 *
 350 * BH_Boundary explanation:
 351 *
 352 * There is a problem.  The mpage read code assembles several pages, gets all
 353 * their disk mappings, and then submits them all.  That's fine, but obtaining
 354 * the disk mappings may require I/O.  Reads of indirect blocks, for example.
 355 *
 356 * So an mpage read of the first 16 blocks of an ext2 file will cause I/O to be
 357 * submitted in the following order:
 358 *      12 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 13 14 15 16
 359 *
 360 * because the indirect block has to be read to get the mappings of blocks
 361 * 13,14,15,16.  Obviously, this impacts performance.
 362 *
 363 * So what we do it to allow the filesystem's get_block() function to set
 364 * BH_Boundary when it maps block 11.  BH_Boundary says: mapping of the block
 365 * after this one will require I/O against a block which is probably close to
 366 * this one.  So you should push what I/O you have currently accumulated.
 367 *
 368 * This all causes the disk requests to be issued in the correct order.
