"Replacement of bdev->bd_inode with sane(r) set of primitives by me and
Yu Kuai"
* tag 'pull-bd_inode-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
RIP ->bd_inode
dasd_format(): killing the last remaining user of ->bd_inode
nilfs_attach_log_writer(): use ->bd_mapping->host instead of ->bd_inode

blk_ioctl_{discard,zeroout}(): we only want ->bd_inode->i_mapping here...
grow_dev_folio(): we only want ->bd_inode->i_mapping there
use ->bd_mapping instead of ->bd_inode->i_mapping

missing helpers: bdev_unhash(), bdev_drop()

Pull iomap updates from Christian Brauner:
- Restore read-write hints in struct bio through the bi_write_hint
member for the sake of UFS devices in mobile applications. This can
result in up to 40% lower write amplification in UFS devices. The
patch series that builds on this will be coming in via the SCSI
maintainers (Bart)
- Overhaul the iomap writeback code. Afterwards ->map_blocks() is able
to map multiple blocks at once as long as they're in the same folio.
This reduces CPU usage for buffered write workloads on e.g., xfs on
systems with lots of cores (Christoph)
- Record processed bytes in iomap_iter() trace event (Kassey)
- Extend iomap_writepage_map() trace event after Christoph's
->map_block() changes to map mutliple blocks at once (Zhang)
* tag 'vfs-6.9.iomap' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (22 commits)
iomap: Add processed for iomap_iter
iomap: add pos and dirty_len into trace_iomap_writepage_map
block, fs: Restore the per-bio/request data lifetime fields
fs: Propagate write hints to the struct block_device inode
fs: Move enum rw_hint into a new header file
fs: Split fcntl_rw_hint()
fs: Verify write lifetime constants at compile time
fs: Fix rw_hint validation
iomap: pass the length of the dirty region to ->map_blocks
iomap: map multiple blocks at a time
iomap: submit ioends immediately
iomap: factor out a iomap_writepage_map_block helper
iomap: only call mapping_set_error once for each failed bio
iomap: don't chain bios
iomap: move the iomap_sector sector calculation out of iomap_add_to_ioend
iomap: clean up the iomap_alloc_ioend calling convention
iomap: move all remaining per-folio logic into iomap_writepage_map
iomap: factor out a iomap_writepage_handle_eof helper
iomap: move the PF_MEMALLOC check to iomap_writepages
iomap: move the io_folios field out of struct iomap_ioend
...
Restore support for passing data lifetime information from filesystems to
block drivers. This patch reverts commit b179c98f76 ("block: Remove
request.write_hint") and commit c75e707fe1 ("block: remove the
per-bio/request write hint").
This patch does not modify the size of struct bio because the new
bi_write_hint member fills a hole in struct bio. pahole reports the
following for struct bio on an x86_64 system with this patch applied:
/* size: 112, cachelines: 2, members: 20 */
/* sum members: 110, holes: 1, sum holes: 2 */
/* last cacheline: 48 bytes */

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which are
included in this merge do the following:
- Peng Zhang has done some mapletree maintainance work in the series
'maple_tree: add mt_free_one() and mt_attr() helpers'
'Some cleanups of maple tree'
- In the series 'mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem'
Vishal Verma has altered the interworking between memory-hotplug
and dax/kmem so that newly added 'device memory' can more easily
have its memmap placed within that newly added memory.
- Matthew Wilcox continues folio-related work (including a few fixes)
in the patch series
'Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()'
'Make folio_start_writeback return void'
'Fix fault handler's handling of poisoned tail pages'
'Convert aops->error_remove_page to ->error_remove_folio'
'Finish two folio conversions'
'More swap folio conversions'
- Kefeng Wang has also contributed folio-related work in the series
'mm: cleanup and use more folio in page fault'
- Jim Cromie has improved the kmemleak reporting output in the series
'tweak kmemleak report format'.
- In the series 'stackdepot: allow evicting stack traces' Andrey
Konovalov to permits clients (in this case KASAN) to cause eviction
of no longer needed stack traces.
- Charan Teja Kalla has fixed some accounting issues in the page
allocator's atomic reserve calculations in the series 'mm:
page_alloc: fixes for high atomic reserve caluculations'.
- Dmitry Rokosov has added to the samples/ dorectory some sample code
for a userspace memcg event listener application. See the series
'samples: introduce cgroup events listeners'.
- Some mapletree maintanance work from Liam Howlett in the series
'maple_tree: iterator state changes'.
- Nhat Pham has improved zswap's approach to writeback in the series
'workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap writeback'.

anonymous page faults.
- Matthew Wilcox has also contributed some cleanup and maintenance
work against eh buffer_head code int he series 'More buffer_head
cleanups'.

'userfaultfd move option'. UFFDIO_MOVE permits userspace heap
compaction algorithms to move userspace's pages around rather than
UFFDIO_COPY'a alloc/copy/free.
- Stefan Roesch has developed a 'KSM Advisor', in the series 'mm/ksm:
Add ksm advisor'. This is a governor which tunes KSM's scanning

If try_to_free_buffers() succeeded and then folio_alloc_buffers() failed,
grow_dev_folio() would return success. This would be incorrect; memory
allocation failure is supposed to result in a failure. It's a harmless
bug; the caller will simply go around the loop one more time and
grow_dev_folio() will correctly return a failure that time. But it was an
unintended change and looks like a more serious bug than it is.
While I'm in here, improve the commentary about why we return success even
though we failed.

When __block_write_begin_int() was converted to support folios, we did not
expect large folios to be passed to it. With the current work to support
large block size storage devices, this will no longer be true so change
the checks on 'from' and 'to' to be related to the size of the folio
instead of PAGE_SIZE. Also remove an assumption that the block size is
smaller than PAGE_SIZE.
