Pull NVMe write streams removal from Jens Axboe:
 "This removes the write streams support in NVMe. No vendor ever really
  shipped working support for this, and they are not interested in
  supporting it.

  With the NVMe support gone, we have nothing in the tree that supports
  this. Remove passing around of the hints.

  The only discussion point in this patchset imho is the fact that the
  file specific write hint setting/getting fcntl helpers will now return
  -1/EINVAL like they did before we supported write hints. No known
  applications use these functions, I only know of one prototype that I
  help do for RocksDB, and that's not used. That said, with a change
  like this, it's always a bit controversial. Alternatively, we could
  just make them return 0 and pretend it worked. It's placement based
  hints after all"

Pull filesystem folio updates from Matthew Wilcox:
 "Primarily this series converts some of the address_space operations to
  take a folio instead of a page.

  Notably:

   - a_ops-&gt;is_partially_uptodate() takes a folio instead of a page and
     changes the type of the 'from' and 'count' arguments to make it
     obvious they're bytes.

   - a_ops-&gt;invalidatepage() becomes -&gt;invalidate_folio() and has a
     similar type change.

   - a_ops-&gt;launder_page() becomes -&gt;launder_folio()

   - a_ops-&gt;set_page_dirty() becomes -&gt;dirty_folio() and adds the
     address_space as an argument.

  There are a couple of other misc changes up front that weren't worth
  separating into their own pull request"

Pass the block_device that we plan to use this bio for and the
operation to bio_init to optimize the assignment.  A NULL block_device
can be passed, both for the passthrough case on a raw request_queue and
to temporarily avoid refactoring some nasty code.

Pass the block_device and operation that we plan to use this bio for to
bio_alloc to optimize the assignment.  NULL/0 can be passed, both for the
passthrough case on a raw request_queue and to temporarily avoid
refactoring some nasty code.

Also move the gfp_mask argument after the nr_vecs argument for a much
more logical calling convention matching what most of the kernel does.
