Patch series "Convert writepage_t to use a folio".

More folioisation.  I split out the mpage work from everything else
because it completely dominated the patch, but some implementations I just
converted outright.


This patch (of 2):

We always write back an entire folio, but that's currently passed as the
head page.  Convert all filesystems that use write_cache_pages() to expect
a folio instead of a page.

Patch series "Writeback folio conversions".

Remove more calls to compound_head() by passing folios around instead of
pages.


This patch (of 2):

The only caller of inode_attach_wb() which doesn't pass NULL already has a
folio, so convert the whole call-chain to take folios.

<title>mm: remove zap_page_range and create zap_vma_pages</title>

<id>e9adcfecf572fcfaa9f8525904cf49c709974f73</id>
<content type='text'>
zap_page_range was originally designed to unmap pages within an address
range that could span multiple vmas.  While working on [1], it was
discovered that all callers of zap_page_range pass a range entirely within
a single vma.  In addition, the mmu notification call within zap_page
range does not correctly handle ranges that span multiple vmas.  When
crossing a vma boundary, a new mmu_notifier_range_init/end call pair with
the new vma should be made.

Instead of fixing zap_page_range, do the following:
- Create a new routine zap_vma_pages() that will remove all pages within
  the passed vma.  Most users of zap_page_range pass the entire vma and
  can use this new routine.
- For callers of zap_page_range not passing the entire vma, instead call
  zap_page_range_single().
- Remove zap_page_range.

<content type='text'>
Deactivate_page() has already been converted to use folios, this change
converts it to take in a folio argument instead of calling page_folio(). 
It also renames the function folio_deactivate() to be more consistent with
other folio functions.

This splits off the __bdi_set_min_ratio() function from the
bdi_set_min_ratio() function. The __bdi_set_min_ratio() function will
also be called from the bdi_set_min_bytes() function, which will be
introduced in the next patch.

This splits off the __bdi_set_min_ratio() function from the
bdi_set_min_ratio() function. The __bdi_set_min_ratio() function will
also be called from the bdi_set_min_bytes() function, which will be
introduced in the next patch.
