9.27. I/O Path

Has two parts

code that handles read and write calls
- both buffered and direct I/O
- xfs_lrw.c
code that actually writes something out

Uses Linux get_block_t interfaces and struct buffer_head

XFS code is different to other filesystems because of

different locking
delayed allocation
