[Ocfs2-devel] remove generic_writepages

Hi all,

this series removes generic_writepages by open coding the current
functionality in the three remaining callers.  Besides removing some
code the main benefit is that one of the few remaining ->writepage
callers from outside the core page cache code go away.

Note that testing has been a bit limited - ntfs3 does not seem to
be supported by xfstests at all, and xfstests on ocfs2 is a complete
shit show even for the base line.

[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 1/6] fs: remove an outdated comment on mpage_writepages

mpage_writepages doesn't do any of the page locking itself, so remove
and outdated comment on the locking pattern there.

[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 2/6] ntfs3: stop using generic_writepages

Open code the resident inode handling in ntfs_writepages by directly
using write_cache_pages to prepare removing the ->writepage handler
in ntfs3.

[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 3/6] ntfs3: remove ->writepage

->writepage is a very inefficient method to write back data, and only
 used through write_cache_pages or a a fallback when no ->migrate_folio
method is present.

Set ->migrate_folio to the generic buffer_head based helper, and remove
the ->writepage implementation.

[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 5/6] ocfs2: use filemap_fdatawrite_wbc instead of generic_writepages

filemap_fdatawrite_wbc is a fairly thing wrapper around do_writepages,
and the big difference there is support for cgroup writeback, which
is not supported by ocfs2, and the potential to use ->writepages instead
of ->writepage, which ocfs2 does not currently implement but eventually
should.
