Patch series "remove Xen tmem leftovers".

Since the removal of the Xen tmem driver in 2019, the cleancache hooks
are entirely unused, as are large parts of frontswap.  This series
against linux-next (with the folio changes included) removes
cleancaches, and cuts down frontswap to the bits actually used by zswap.

This patch (of 13):

The cleancache subsystem is unused since the removal of Xen tmem driver
in commit 814bbf49dcd0 ("xen: remove tmem driver").

It's often inconvenient to use BIO_MAX_PAGES due to min() requiring the
sign to be the same.  Introduce bio_max_segs() and change BIO_MAX_PAGES to
be unsigned to make it easier for the users.

<title>ext4: add inline encryption support</title>

<id>4f74d15fe40833d4fb4f5ead7437aa73840596a5</id>
<content type='text'>
Wire up ext4 to support inline encryption via the helper functions which
fs/crypto/ now provides.  This includes:

- Adding a mount option 'inlinecrypt' which enables inline encryption
  on encrypted files where it can be used.

- Setting the bio_crypt_ctx on bios that will be submitted to an
  inline-encrypted file.

  Note: submit_bh_wbc() in fs/buffer.c also needed to be patched for
  this part, since ext4 sometimes uses ll_rw_block() on file data.

- Not adding logically discontiguous data to bios that will be submitted
  to an inline-encrypted file.

- Not doing filesystem-layer crypto on inline-encrypted files.

This function now only uses the mapping argument to look up the inode, and
both callers already have the inode, so just pass the inode instead of the
mapping.

<title>ext4: remove unneeded check for error allocating bio_post_read_ctx</title>

<id>fd5fe2535642982af695f2f77bb7dba5d4aa6aa5</id>
<content type='text'>
Since allocating an object from a mempool never fails when
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (which is included in GFP_NOFS) is set, the check
for failure to allocate a bio_post_read_ctx is unnecessary.  Remove it.

Also remove the redundant assignment to -&gt;bi_private.

Without any form of coordination, any case where multiple allocations
from the same mempool are needed at a time to make forward progress can
deadlock under memory pressure.

This is the case for struct bio_post_read_ctx, as one can be allocated
to decrypt a Merkle tree page during fsverity_verify_bio(), which itself
is running from a post-read callback for a data bio which has its own
struct bio_post_read_ctx.

Fix this by freeing the first bio_post_read_ctx before calling
fsverity_verify_bio().  This works because verity (if enabled) is always
the last post-read step.

This deadlock can be reproduced by trying to read from an encrypted
verity file after reducing NUM_PREALLOC_POST_READ_CTXS to 1 and patching
mempool_alloc() to pretend that pool-&gt;alloc() always fails.

Note that since NUM_PREALLOC_POST_READ_CTXS is actually 128, to actually
hit this bug in practice would require reading from lots of encrypted
verity files at the same time.  But it's theoretically possible, as N
available objects isn't enough to guarantee forward progress when &gt; N/2
threads each need 2 objects at a time.

Similar to [1] [2], bio_alloc with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM flags
guarantees bio allocation under some given restrictions, as
stated in block/bio.c and fs/direct-io.c So here it's ok to
not check for NULL value from bio_alloc().
