    Documentation: the design of iomap and how to port · a7ca193b
    Darrick J. Wong authored
    Capture the design of iomap and how to port filesystems to use it.
    Apologies for all the rst formatting, but it's necessary to distinguish
    code from regular text.
    
    A lot of this has been collected from various email conversations, code
    comments, commit messages, my own understanding of iomap, and
    Ritesh/Luis' previous efforts to create a document.  Please note a large
    part of this has been taken from Dave's reply to last iomap doc
    patchset. Thanks to Ritesh, Luis, Dave, Darrick, Matthew, Christoph and
    other iomap developers who have taken time to explain the iomap design
    in various emails, commits, comments etc.
