Merge tag 'folio-5.19' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/pagecache
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 ->read_folio
