In current implementation, grow_buffers() uses alloc_page() to
allocate the buffers for each stripe_head, i.e. allocate a page
for each dev[i] in stripe_head.
After setting stripe_size as a configurable value by writing
sysfs entry, it means that we always allocate 64K buffers, but
just use 4K of them when stripe_size is 4K in 64KB arm64.
To avoid wasting memory, we try to let multiple sh->dev share
one real page. That means, multiple sh->dev[i].page will point
to the only page with different offset. Example of 64K PAGE_SIZE
and 4K stripe_size as following:
64K PAGE_SIZE
+---+---+---+---+------------------------------+

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+------------------------------+

+-----+-----+------+-----+------+-----+------+------+
sh | offset(0) | offset(4K) | offset(8K) | offset(12K) |
+ +-----------+------------+------------+-------------+
+----> dev[0].page dev[1].page dev[2].page dev[3].page
A new 'pages' array will be added into stripe_head to record shared
page used by this stripe_head. Allocate them when grow_buffers()
and free them when shrink_buffers().
After trying to share page, the users of sh->dev[i].page need to take
care of the related page offset: page of issued bio and page passed
to xor compution functions. But thanks for previous different page offset
supported. Here, we just need to set correct dev[i].offset.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
