mm: make pagecache tagged lookups return only head pages
Patch series "Overhaul multi-page lookups for THP", v4. This THP prep patchset changes several page cache iteration APIs to only return head pages. - It's only possible to tag head pages in the page cache, so only return head pages, not all their subpages. - Factor a lot of common code out of the various batch lookup routines - Add mapping_seek_hole_data() - Unify find_get_entries() and pagevec_lookup_entries() - Make find_get_entries only return head pages, like find_get_entry(). These are only loosely connected, but they seem to make sense together as a series. This patch (of 14): Pagecache tags are used for dirty page writeback. Since dirtiness is tracked on a per-THP basis, we only want to return the head page rather than each subpage of a tagged page. All the filesystems which use huge pages today are in-memory, so there are no tagged huge pages today.
