[PATCH v3 00/12] ceph: convert writeback path to folios

From: Tal Zussman

Date: Mon Aug 10 2026 - 10:27:24 EST


Convert ceph's writeback path to work on folios. With these
conversions, remove three mm compatibility APIs whose last callers are
eliminated: wait_on_page_writeback(), thp_size(), and thp_order().

This also fixes a couple pre-existing issues discovered by Sashiko
along the way.

Some page <-> folio boundaries are deliberately left in place where
ceph borders on some gnarlier page-based APIs:

- libceph's OSD data plane is page-array based, so ceph_writeback_ctl's
pages[] and osd_data->pages[] remain struct page arrays. Folios are
converted at the array/libceph boundary.

- fscrypt's bounce page API remains page-based for some functions
(fscrypt_encrypt_pagecache_blocks(), fscrypt_finalize_bounce_page()).
Possibly-bounce array entries are unwrapped to their pagecache folios
via fscrypt_pagecache_folio().

This series is based on the ceph-client testing branch [1].
