Pull page cache updates from Matthew Wilcox:

 - Appoint myself page cache maintainer

 - Fix how scsicam uses the page cache

 - Use the memalloc_nofs_save() API to replace AOP_FLAG_NOFS

 - Remove the AOP flags entirely

 - Remove pagecache_write_begin() and pagecache_write_end()

 - Documentation updates

 - Convert several address_space operations to use folios:
     - is_dirty_writeback
     - readpage becomes read_folio
     - releasepage becomes release_folio
     - freepage becomes free_folio

 - Change filler_t to require a struct file pointer be the first
   argument like -&gt;read_folio

This is a "weak" conversion which converts straight back to using pages.
A full conversion should be performed at some point, hopefully by
someone familiar with the filesystem.

<content type='text'>
Remove the magic autofree semantics and require the callers to explicitly
call bio_init to initialize the bio.

This allows bio_free to catch accidental bio_put calls on bio_init()ed
bios as well.

If a plain kmalloc that is not backed by a mempool is safe here for a
large read (and the actual page allocations), it must also be for a
small one, so simplify the code a bit.

The inode allocation is supposed to use alloc_inode_sb(), so convert
kmem_cache_alloc() of all filesystems to alloc_inode_sb().

<content type='text'>
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.

<title>squashfs: provide backing_dev_info in order to disable read-ahead</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit c1f6925e1091 ("mm: put readahead pages in cache earlier") causes
the read performance of squashfs to deteriorate.Through testing, we find
that the performance will be back by closing the readahead of squashfs.

So we want to learn the way of ubifs, provides backing_dev_info and
disable read-ahead

We tested the following data by fio.
squashfs image blocksize=128K
test command:

  fio --name basic --bs=? --filename="/mnt/test_file" --rw=? --iodepth=1 --ioengine=psync --runtime=200 --time_based

  turn on squashfs readahead in 5.10 kernel
  bs(k)      read/randread           MB/s
  4            randread              271
  128          randread              231
  1024         randread              246

  128          read                  245
  1024         read                  247

  turn off squashfs readahead in 5.10 kernel
  bs(k)      read/randread           MB/s
  4            randread              293
  128          randread              330
  1024         randread              363
  4            read                  338

  1024         read                  365

  turn on squashfs readahead and revert the
  commit c1f6925e1091("mm: put readahead
  pages in cache earlier") in 5.10 kernel
  bs(k)      read/randread           MB/s

<title>lib: zstd: Add kernel-specific API</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cf30f6a5f0c60ec98a637b836bef6915f602c6ab</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch:
- Moves `include/linux/zstd.h` -&gt; `include/linux/zstd_lib.h`
- Updates modified zstd headers to yearless copyright
- Adds a new API in `include/linux/zstd.h` that is functionally
  equivalent to the in-use subset of the current API. Functions are
  renamed to avoid symbol collisions with zstd, to make it clear it is
  not the upstream zstd API, and to follow the kernel style guide.
- Updates all callers to use the new API.

There are no functional changes in this patch. Since there are no
functional change, I felt it was okay to update all the callers in a
single patch. Once the API is approved, the callers are mechanically
changed.

This patch is preparing for the 3rd patch in this series, which updates
zstd to version 1.4.10. Since the upstream zstd API is no longer exposed
to callers, the update can happen transparently.
