Instead of tracking metadata bhs for a mapping using i_private_list and
i_private_lock create a dedicated mapping_metadata_bhs struct for it.
So far this struct is embedded in address_space but that will be
switched for per-fs private inode parts later in the series. This also
changes the locking from bdev mapping's i_private_lock to a new lock
embedded in mapping_metadata_bhs to untangle the i_private_lock locking
for maintaining lists of metadata bhs and the locking for looking up /
reclaiming bdev's buffer heads. The locking in remove_assoc_map() gets
more complex due to this but overall this looks like a reasonable
tradeoff.

There are only a few filesystems that use generic tracking of inode
metadata buffer heads. As such the logic to reclaim tracked metadata
buffer heads in inode_lru_isolate() doesn't bring a benefit big enough
to justify intertwining of inode reclaim and metadata buffer head
tracking. Just treat tracked metadata buffer heads as any other metadata
filesystem has to properly clean up on inode eviction and stop handling
it in inode_lru_isolate(). As a result filesystems using generic
tracking of metadata buffer heads may now see dirty metadata buffers in
their .evict methods more often which can slow down inode reclaim but
given these filesystems aren't used in performance demanding setups we
should be fine.

Pass a struct fsverity_info to the verification and readahead helpers,
and push the lookup into the callers. Right now this is a very dumb
almost mechanic move that open codes a lot of fsverity_info_addr() calls

This prepares for reducing the number of fsverity_info lookups, which
will allow to amortize them better when using a more expensive lookup
method.

try_to_free_buffers() can be called on folios with no buffers attached
when filemap_release_folio() is invoked on a folio belonging to a mapping
with AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS set but no release_folio operation defined.
In such cases, folio_needs_release() returns true because of the
AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS flag, but the folio has no private buffer data. This
causes try_to_free_buffers() to call drop_buffers() on a folio with no
buffers, leading to a null pointer dereference.
Adding a check in try_to_free_buffers() to return early if the folio has no
buffers attached, with WARN_ON_ONCE() to alert about the misconfiguration.

min_t(unsigned int, a, b) casts an 'unsigned long' to 'unsigned int'.
Use min(a, b) instead as it promotes any 'unsigned int' to 'unsigned long'
and so cannot discard significant bits.
A couple of places need umin() because of loops like:
nfolios = DIV_ROUND_UP(ret + start, PAGE_SIZE);
for (i = 0; i < nfolios; i++) {
struct folio *folio = page_folio(pages[i]);
...
unsigned int len = umin(ret, PAGE_SIZE - start);
...
ret -= len;
...
}
where the compiler doesn't track things well enough to know that
'ret' is never negative.
The alternate loop:
for (i = 0; ret > 0; i++) {
struct folio *folio = page_folio(pages[i]);
...
unsigned int len = min(ret, PAGE_SIZE - start);
...
ret -= len;
...
}
would be equivalent and doesn't need 'nfolios'.
Most of the 'unsigned long' actually come from PAGE_SIZE.
Detected by an extra check added to min_t().

Pull folio updates from Christian Brauner:
"Add a new folio_next_pos() helper function that returns the file
position of the first byte after the current folio. This is a common
operation in filesystems when needing to know the end of the current
folio.
The helper is lifted from btrfs which already had its own version, and
is now used across multiple filesystems and subsystems:
- btrfs
- buffer
- ext4
- f2fs
- gfs2
- iomap
- netfs
- xfs
- mm
This fixes a long-standing bug in ocfs2 on 32-bit systems with files
larger than 2GiB. Presumably this is not a common configuration, but
the fix is backported anyway. The other filesystems did not have bugs,
they were just mildly inefficient.
This also introduce uoff_t as the unsigned version of loff_t. A recent
commit inadvertently changed a comparison from being unsigned (on
64-bit systems) to being signed (which it had always been on 32-bit
systems), leading to sporadic fstests failures.
Generally file sizes are restricted to being a signed integer, but in
places where -1 is passed to indicate "up to the end of the file", it
is convenient to have an unsigned type to ensure comparisons are
always unsigned regardless of architecture"

put_bh
--> trigger stack-out-of-bounds
In the mpage_read_folio() function, the stack variable 'map_bh' is
passed to ntfs_get_block_vbo(). Once unlock_buffer() unlocks and
wait_on_buffer() returns to continue processing, the stack variable
is likely to be reclaimed. Consequently, during the end_buffer_read_sync()
process, calling put_bh() may result in stack overrun.
If the bh is not allocated on the stack, it belongs to a folio. Freeing
a buffer head which belongs to a folio is done by drop_buffers() which
will fail to free buffers which are still locked. So it is safe to call
put_bh() before __end_buffer_read_notouch().

struct file *.
Update all affected function prototypes, implementations, call sites,

Part of a series refactoring address_space_operations write_begin and
write_end callbacks to use struct kiocb for passing write context and

All filesystems will already check the max and min value of their block
size during their initialization. __getblk_slow() is a very low-level
function to have these checks. Remove them and only check for logical
block size alignment.
As this check with logical block size alignment might never trigger, add
WARN_ON_ONCE() to the check. As WARN_ON_ONCE() will already print the
stack, remove the call to dump_stack().

While invalidating, the clearing of the bits in discard_buffer()
is done in one fully ordered CAS operation. In the past this was
done via individual clear_bit(), until e7470ee89f (fs: buffer:
do not use unnecessary atomic operations when discarding buffers).
This implies that there were never strong ordering requirements
outside of being serialized by the buffer lock.
As such relax the ordering for archs that can benefit. Further,
the implied ordering in buffer_unlock() makes current cmpxchg
implied barrier redundant due to release semantics. And while in
theory the unlock could be part of the bulk clearing, it is
best to leave it explicit, but without the double barriers.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros
Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.
This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect.

block_read_full_folio() currently puts all !uptodate buffers into
an array allocated on the stack, then iterates over it twice, first
locking the buffers and then submitting them for read. We want to
remove this array because it occupies too much stack space on
configurations with a larger PAGE_SIZE (eg 512 bytes with 8 byte
pointers and a 64KiB PAGE_SIZE).
We cannot simply submit buffer heads as we find them as the completion
handler needs to be able to tell when all reads are finished, so it can
end the folio read. So we keep one buffer in reserve (using the 'prev'
variable) until the end of the function.
