-  prepare_write: called by the generic write path in VM to set up a write
-        request for a page.  This indicates to the address space that
-        the given range of bytes is about to be written.  The
-        address_space should check that the write will be able to
-        complete, by allocating space if necessary and doing any other
-        internal housekeeping.  If the write will update parts of
-        any basic-blocks on storage, then those blocks should be
-        pre-read (if they haven't been read already) so that the
-        updated blocks can be written out properly.

-        read(2) to copy it to userspace.

-  commit_write: If prepare_write succeeds, new data will be copied

-        typically update the size of the file (if appropriate) and
-        mark the inode as dirty, and do any other related housekeeping
-        operations.  It should avoid returning an error if possible -
