This particular combination of flags is used by most filesystems
in their ->write_begin method, although it does find use in a
few other places. Before folios, it warranted its own function
(grab_cache_page_write_begin()), but I think that just having specialised
flags is enough. It certainly helps the few places that have been
converted from grab_cache_page_write_begin() to __filemap_get_folio().

Instead of returning NULL for all errors, distinguish between:
- no entry found and not asked to allocated (-ENOENT)
- failed to allocate memory (-ENOMEM)
- would block (-EAGAIN)
so that callers don't have to guess the error based on the passed in
flags.
Also pass through the error through the direct callers: filemap_get_folio,
filemap_lock_folio filemap_grab_folio and filemap_get_incore_folio.

Fix the dodgy maths in netfs_rreq_unlock_folios(). start_page could be
inside the folio, in which case the calculation of pgpos will be come up
with a negative number (though for the moment rreq->start is rounded down
earlier and folios would have to get merged whilst locked)
Alter how this works to just frame the tracking in terms of absolute file
positions, rather than offsets from the start of the I/O request. This
simplifies the maths and makes it easier to follow.
Fix the issue by using folio_pos() and folio_size() to calculate the end
position of the page.

netfslib has a number of places in which it performs iteration of an xarray
whilst being under the RCU read lock. It *should* call xas_retry() as the
first thing inside of the loop and do "continue" if it returns true in case
the xarray walker passed out a special value indicating that the walk needs
to be redone from the root[*].
Fix this by adding the missing retry checks.
[*] I wonder if this should be done inside xas_find(), xas_next_node() and
suchlike, but I'm told that's not an simple change to effect.
This can cause an oops like that below. Note the faulting address - this
is an internal value (|0x2) returned from xarray.

check_write_begin() will unlock and put the folio when return
non-zero. So we should avoid unlocking and putting it twice in
netfs layer.
Change the way ->check_write_begin() works in the following two ways:
(1) Pass it a pointer to the folio pointer, allowing it to unlock and put
the folio prior to doing the stuff it wants to do, provided it clears
the folio pointer.
(2) Change the return values such that 0 with folio pointer set means
continue, 0 with folio pointer cleared means re-get and all error
codes indicating an error (no special treatment for -EAGAIN).

Change the signature of netfs helper functions to take a struct netfs_inode
pointer rather than a struct inode pointer where appropriate, thereby
relieving the need for the network filesystem to convert its internal inode
format down to the VFS inode only for netfslib to bounce it back up. For
type safety, it's better not to do that (and it's less typing too).
Give netfs_write_begin() an extra argument to pass in a pointer to the
netfs_inode struct rather than deriving it internally from the file
pointer. Note that the ->write_begin() and ->write_end() ops are intended
to be replaced in the future by netfslib code that manages this without the
need to call in twice for each page.
netfs_readpage() and similar are intended to be pointed at directly by the
address_space_operations table, so must stick to the signature dictated by
the function pointers there.

While randstruct was satisfied with using an open-coded "void *" offset
cast for the netfs_i_context <-> inode casting, __builtin_object_size() as
used by FORTIFY_SOURCE was not as easily fooled. This was causing the
following complaint[1] from gcc v12:
In file included from include/linux/string.h:253,
from include/linux/ceph/ceph_debug.h:7,
from fs/ceph/inode.c:2:
In function 'fortify_memset_chk',
inlined from 'netfs_i_context_init' at include/linux/netfs.h:326:2,
inlined from 'ceph_alloc_inode' at fs/ceph/inode.c:463:2:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:242:25: warning: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with attribute warning: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Wattribute-warning]
242 | __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fix this by embedding a struct inode into struct netfs_i_context (which
should perhaps be renamed to struct netfs_inode). The struct inode
vfs_inode fields are then removed from the 9p, afs, ceph and cifs inode
structs and vfs_inode is then simply changed to "netfs.inode" in those
filesystems.
Further, rename netfs_i_context to netfs_inode, get rid of the
netfs_inode() function that converted a netfs_i_context pointer to an
inode pointer (that can now be done with &ctx->inode) and rename the
netfs_i_context() function to netfs_inode() (which is now a wrapper
around container_of()).
Most of the changes were done with:
perl -p -i -e 's/vfs_inode/netfs.inode/'g \
`git grep -l 'vfs_inode' -- fs/{9p,afs,ceph,cifs}/*.[ch]`
Kees suggested doing it with a pair structure[2] and a special
declarator to insert that into the network filesystem's inode
wrapper[3], but I think it's cleaner to embed it - and then it doesn't
matter if struct randomisation reorders things.
Dave Chinner suggested using a filesystem-specific VFS_I() function in
each filesystem to convert that filesystem's own inode wrapper struct
into the VFS inode struct[4].
Version #2:
- Fix a couple of missed name changes due to a disabled cifs option.
- Rename nfs_i_context to nfs_inode
- Use "netfs" instead of "nic" as the member name in per-fs inode wrapper
structs.
[ This also undoes commit 507160f46c ("netfs: gcc-12: temporarily
disable '-Wattribute-warning' for now") that is no longer needed ]
