fs: convert block_write_full_page to block_write_full_folio

2023-12-29T19:58:35Z

Convert the function to be compatible with writepage_t so that it can be passed to write_cache_pages() by blkdev. This removes a call to compound_head(). We can also remove the function export as both callers are built-in.

fs: reduce stack usage in do_mpage_readpage

2023-12-29T19:58:33Z

Some architectures support a very large PAGE_SIZE, so instead of the 8 pointers we see with a 4kB PAGE_SIZE, we can see 128 pointers with 64kB or so many on Hexagon that it trips compiler warnings about exceeding stack frame size. All we're doing with this array is checking for block contiguity, which we can as well do by remembering the address of the first block in the page and checking this block is at the appropriate offset from that address.

fs: convert clean_buffers() to take a folio

2023-12-29T19:58:33Z

The only caller already has a folio, so pass it in and use it throughout. Saves two calls to compound_head().

fs: remove clean_page_buffers()

2023-12-29T19:58:33Z

Patch series "Clean up the writeback paths". Most of these patches verge on the trivial, converting filesystems that just use block_write_full_page() to use mpage_writepages(). But as we saw with Christoph's earlier patchset, there can be some "interesting" gotchas, and I clearly haven't tested the majority of filesystems I've touched here. Patches 3 & 4 get rid of a lot of stack usage on architectures with larger page sizes; 1024 bytes on 64-bit systems with 64KiB pages. It starts to open the door to larger folio sizes on all architectures, but it's certainly not enough yet. Patch 14 is kind of trivial, but it's nice to get that simplification in. This patch (of 14): This function has been unused since the removal of bdev_write_page().
