Merge tag 'xfs-buf-bulk-alloc-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs into xfs-5.14-merge2 xfs: buffer cache bulk page allocation This patchset makes use of the new bulk page allocation interface to reduce the overhead of allocating large numbers of pages in a loop. The first two patches are refactoring buffer memory allocation and converting the uncached buffer path to use the same page allocation path, followed by converting the page allocation path to use bulk allocation. The rest of the patches are then consolidation of the page allocation and freeing code to simplify the code and remove a chunk of unnecessary abstraction. This is largely based on a series of changes made by Christoph Hellwig. * tag 'xfs-buf-bulk-alloc-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs: xfs: merge xfs_buf_allocate_memory xfs: cleanup error handling in xfs_buf_get_map xfs: get rid of xb_to_gfp() xfs: simplify the b_page_count calculation xfs: remove ->b_offset handling for page backed buffers xfs: move page freeing into _xfs_buf_free_pages() xfs: merge _xfs_buf_get_pages() xfs: use alloc_pages_bulk_array() for buffers xfs: use xfs_buf_alloc_pages for uncached buffers xfs: split up xfs_buf_allocate_memory
