Subject: pagevec: add ability to iterate a queue
Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2024 07:36:45 +0100
Add a loop counter inside the folio_batch to let us iterate from 0-nr
instead of decrementing nr and treating the batch as a stack. It would
generate some very weird and suboptimal I/O patterns for page writeback to
iterate over the batch as a stack.
