As of 5a60e87603c4c533492c515b7f62578189b03c9c, RBD object request
allocations are made via rbd_obj_request_create() with GFP_NOIO.
However, subsequent OSD request allocations in rbd_osd_req_create*()
use GFP_ATOMIC.

With heavy page cache usage (e.g. OSDs running on same host as krbd
client), rbd_osd_req_create() order-1 GFP_ATOMIC allocations have been
observed to fail, where direct reclaim would have allowed GFP_NOIO
allocations to succeed.

<title>mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros</title>

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - &lt;foo&gt; &lt;&lt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - &lt;foo&gt; &gt;&gt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -&gt; PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -&gt; get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -&gt; put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Turn r_ops into a flexible array member to enable large, consisting of
up to 16 ops, OSD requests.  The use case is scattered writeback in
cephfs and, as far as the kernel client is concerned, 16 is just a made
up number.

r_ops had size 3 for copyup+hint+write, but copyup is really a special
case - it can only happen once.  ceph_osd_request_cache is therefore
stuffed with num_ops=2 requests, anything bigger than that is allocated
with kmalloc().  req_mempool is backed by ceph_osd_request_cache, which
means either num_ops=1 or num_ops=2 for use_mempool=true - all existing
users (ceph_writepages_start(), ceph_osdc_writepages()) are fine with
that.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "Final round of fixes for this merge window - some of this has come up
  after the initial pull request, and some of it was put in a post-merge
  branch before the merge window.

  This contains:

   - Fix for a bad check for an error on dma mapping in the mtip32xx
     driver, from Alexey Khoroshilov.

   - A set of fixes for lightnvm, from Javier, Matias, and Wenwei.

   - An NVMe completion record corruption fix from Marta, ensuring that
     we read things in the right order.

   - Two writeback fixes from Tejun, marked for stable@ as well.

   - A blk-mq sw queue iterator fix from Thomas, fixing an oops for
     sparse CPU maps.  They hit this in the hot plug/unplug rework"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  nvme: avoid cqe corruption when update at the same time as read
  writeback, cgroup: fix use of the wrong bdi_writeback which mismatches the inode
  writeback, cgroup: fix premature wb_put() in locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list()
  blk-mq: Use proper cpumask iterator
  mtip32xx: fix checks for dma mapping errors
  lightnvm: do not load L2P table if not supported
  lightnvm: do not reserve lun on l2p loading
  nvme: lightnvm: return ppa completion status
  lightnvm: add a bitmap of luns
  lightnvm: specify target's logical address area
  null_blk: add lightnvm null_blk device to the nullb_list

Pull virtio/vhost updates from Michael Tsirkin:
 "New features, performance improvements, cleanups:

   - basic polling support for vhost
   - rework virtio to optionally use DMA API, fixing it on Xen
   - balloon stats gained a new entry
   - using the new napi_alloc_skb speeds up virtio net
   - virtio blk stats can now be read while another VCPU is busy
     inflating or deflating the balloon

  plus misc cleanups in various places"

* tag 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost:
  virtio_net: replace netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() with napi_alloc_skb()
  vhost_net: basic polling support
  vhost: introduce vhost_vq_avail_empty()
  vhost: introduce vhost_has_work()
  virtio_balloon: Allow to resize and update the balloon stats in parallel
  virtio_balloon: Use a workqueue instead of "vballoon" kthread
  virtio/s390: size of SET_IND payload
  virtio/s390: use dev_to_virtio
  vhost: rename vhost_init_used()
  vhost: rename cross-endian helpers
  virtio_blk: VIRTIO_BLK_F_WCE-&gt;VIRTIO_BLK_F_FLUSH
  vring: Use the DMA API on Xen
  virtio_pci: Use the DMA API if enabled
  virtio_mmio: Use the DMA API if enabled
  virtio: Add improved queue allocation API
  virtio_ring: Support DMA APIs
  vring: Introduce vring_use_dma_api()
  s390/dma: Allow per device dma ops
