Pull cachefiles and afs fixes from David Howells:
"Fixes from Matthew Wilcox for page waiting-related issues in
cachefiles and afs as extracted from his folio series[1]:
- In cachefiles, remove the use of the wait_bit_key struct to access
something that's actually in wait_page_key format. The proper
struct is now available in the header, so that should be used
instead.
- Add a proper wait function for waiting killably on the page
writeback flag. This includes a recent bugfix[2] that's not in the
afs code.
- In afs, use the function added in (2) rather than using
wait_on_page_bit_killable() which doesn't provide the
aforementioned bugfix"

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 Restructured Text 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.
