Hi all, this is basically a report of willy's series of the same name for June. I picked the lastest version from his (now apparently defunct) git tree, rebased it to mainline (no coflict, neither for linux-next), reordered the new fields in struct writeback_control to document what is interface vs internal, and temporarily dropped the iomap patch due to a conflict in the VFS tree. willy: let me know if me reposting it like this is fine, or if you want me to stop. I'd just really like to see it merged :) Note that patch 4 is missing your signoff, so we'd need that before proceeding anyway. The original cover letter is below: Dave Howells doesn't like the indirect function call imposed by write_cache_pages(), so refactor it into an iterator. I took the opportunity to add the ability to iterate a folio_batch without having an external variable. This is against next-20230623. If you try to apply it on top of a tree which doesn't include the pagevec removal series, IT WILL CRASH because it won't reinitialise folio_batch->i and the iteration will index out of bounds. I have a feeling the 'done' parameter could have a better name, but I can't think what it might be.
