The linux-next integration testing tree

Implement a replacement for launder_folio. The key feature of invalidate_inode_pages2() is that it locks each folio individually, unmaps it to prevent mmap'd accesses interfering and calls the ->launder_folio() address_space op to flush it. This has problems: firstly, each folio is written individually as one or more small writes; secondly, adjacent folios cannot be added so easily into the laundry; thirdly, it's yet another op to implement. Instead, use the invalidate lock to cause anyone wanting to add a folio to the inode to wait, then unmap all the folios if we have mmaps, then, conditionally, use ->writepages() to flush any dirty data back and then discard all pages. The invalidate lock prevents ->read_iter(), ->write_iter() and faulting through mmap all from adding pages for the duration. This is then used from netfslib to handle the flusing in unbuffered and direct writes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
