Hi all, this is an evolution of the series Matthew Wilcox originally sent in June 2023, which has changed quite a bit since and now has a while based iterator. Note that in this version two patches are so different from the previous version that I've not kept any Reviews or Acks for them, even if the final result look almost the same as the previous patches with the incremental patch on the list. Changes since v6: - don't access folio->index after releasing the folio batch - add a new patch to fix a pre-existing bug where a positive value is passed to mapping_set_error Changes since v5: - completely reshuffle the series to directly prepare for the writeback_iter() style. - don't require *error to be initialized on first call - improve various comments - fix a bisection hazard where write_cache_pages don't return delayed error for a few commits - fix a whitespace error - drop the iomap patch again for now as the iomap map multiple blocks series isn't in mainline yet Changes since v4: - added back the (rebased) iomap conversion now that the conflict is in mainline - add a new patch to change the iterator Changes since v3: - various commit log spelling fixes - remove a statement from a commit log that isn't true any more with the changes in v3 - rename a function - merge two helpers Diffstat: include/linux/pagevec.h | 18 ++ include/linux/writeback.h | 12 + mm/page-writeback.c | 389 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------- 3 files changed, 249 insertions(+), 170 deletions(-)
