[RFC PATCH 12/53] netfs: Provide tools to create a buffer in an xarray

From: David Howells
Date: Fri Oct 13 2023 - 12:06:55 EST


Provide tools to create a buffer in an xarray, with a function to add
new folios with a mark. This will be used to create bounce buffer and can be
used more easily to create a list of folios the span of which would require
more than a page's worth of bio_vec structs.
