[RFC PATCH v2] mm, netfs: Provide a means of invalidation without using launder_folio

[David Howells]

mm, netfs: Provide a means of invalidation without using launder_folio

Implement a replacement for launder_folio.  The key feature of
invalidate_inode_pages2() is that it locks each folio individually, unmaps
it to prevent mmap'd accesses interfering and calls the ->launder_folio()
address_space op to flush it.  This has problems: firstly, each folio is
written individually as one or more small writes; secondly, adjacent folios
cannot be added so easily into the laundry; thirdly, it's yet another op to
implement.

Instead, use the invalidate lock to cause anyone wanting to add a folio to
the inode to wait, then unmap all the folios if we have mmaps, then,
conditionally, use ->writepages() to flush any dirty data back and then
discard all pages.

The invalidate lock prevents ->read_iter(), ->write_iter() and faulting
through mmap all from adding pages for the duration.
