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"

The mpage bio alloc cleanup accidentally removed clearing ~GFP_KERNEL
bits from the mask passed to bio_alloc.  Fix this up in a slightly
less obsfucated way that mirrors what iomap does in its readpage code.

 "Primarily this series converts some of the address_space operations to
  take a folio instead of a page.

     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

   - a_ops-&gt;set_page_dirty() becomes -&gt;dirty_folio() and adds the

  There are a couple of other misc changes up front that weren't worth

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.

open code mpage_alloc in it's two callers and simplify the results
because of the context:

 - __mpage_writepage always passes GFP_NOFS and can thus always sleep and
    will never get a NULL return from bio_alloc at all.
 - do_mpage_readpage can only get a non-sleeping context for readahead
   which never sets PF_MEMALLOC and thus doesn't need the retry loop
   either.

Both cases will never have __GFP_HIGH set.

Patch series "remove Xen tmem leftovers".

Since the removal of the Xen tmem driver in 2019, the cleancache hooks
are entirely unused, as are large parts of frontswap.  This series
against linux-next (with the folio changes included) removes
cleancaches, and cuts down frontswap to the bits actually used by zswap.

This patch (of 13):

The cleancache subsystem is unused since the removal of Xen tmem driver
in commit 814bbf49dcd0 ("xen: remove tmem driver").

Patch series "remove Xen tmem leftovers".

Since the removal of the Xen tmem driver in 2019, the cleancache hooks
are entirely unused, as are large parts of frontswap.  This series
against linux-next (with the folio changes included) removes
cleancaches, and cuts down frontswap to the bits actually used by zswap.

This patch (of 13):

The cleancache subsystem is unused since the removal of Xen tmem driver
in commit 814bbf49dcd0 ("xen: remove tmem driver").
