Call read_cache_folio() instead of read_cache_page() to get the folio
containing the page.  No attempt is made here to support large folios
as I assume that will never be interesting for jffs2.  Includes a switch
from kmap to kmap_local which looks safe.

Both callers now have a folio, so pass it in.  No effort is made
here to support large folios.  Removes several hidden calls to
compound_head(), two references to page-&gt;index and a use of kmap.

Most callers have a folio, and most implementations operate on a folio,
so remove the conversion from folio-&gt;page-&gt;folio to fit through this

Fetch a folio from the page cache instead of a page and use it throughout
removing several calls to compound_head().  We still have to convert
back to a page for calling internal jffs2 functions, but hopefully they
will be converted soon.

<title>treewide: change conditional prompt for choices to 'depends on'</title>

<id>b9d73218d78778effd2924664ed93d78ff6949de</id>
<content type='text'>
While Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst provides a brief
explanation, there are recurring confusions regarding the usage of a
prompt followed by 'if &lt;expr&gt;'. This conditional controls _only_ the
prompt.

A typical usage is as follows:

    menuconfig BLOCK
            bool "Enable the block layer" if EXPERT
            default y

When EXPERT=n, the prompt is hidden, but this config entry is still
active, and BLOCK is set to its default value 'y'. This is reasonable
because you are likely want to enable the block device support. When
EXPERT=y, the prompt is shown, allowing you to toggle BLOCK.

Please note that it is different from 'depends on EXPERT', which would
enable and disable the entire config entry.

However, this conditional prompt has never worked in a choice block.

The following two work in the same way: when EXPERT is disabled, the
choice block is entirely disabled.

[Test Code 1]

    choice
            prompt "choose" if EXPERT

    config A
            bool "A"

    config B
            bool "B"

    endchoice

[Test Code 2]

    choice
            prompt "choose"
            depends on EXPERT

    config A
            bool "A"

    config B
            bool "B"

    endchoice

I believe the first case should hide only the prompt, producing the
default:

   CONFIG_A=y
   # CONFIG_B is not set

The next commit will change (fix) the behavior of the conditional prompt
in choice blocks.

I see several choice blocks wrongly using a conditional prompt, where
'depends on' makes more sense.

To preserve the current behavior, this commit converts such misuses.

I did not touch the following entry in arch/x86/Kconfig:

    choice
            prompt "Memory split" if EXPERT
            default VMSPLIT_3G

This is truly the correct use of the conditional prompt; when EXPERT=n,
this choice block should silently select the reasonable VMSPLIT_3G,
although the resulting PAGE_OFFSET will not be affected anyway.

Presumably, the one in fs/jffs2/Kconfig is also correct, but I converted
it to 'depends on' to avoid any potential behavioral change.

Nobody checks the error flag on jffs2 folios, so stop setting and
clearing it.  We can also remove the call to clear the uptodate
flag; it will already be clear.

Convert one of these into a call to mapping_set_error() which will
actually be checked by other parts of the kernel.
