From: Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@xxxxxxxxxx> When page undergo io it is associated with a unique bio and thus we can use it to lookup other page fields which are relevant only for the bio under consideration. Note this only apply when page is special ie page->mapping is pointing to some special structure which is not a valid struct address_space.
