There is no good reason to mess with file descriptors from in-kernel
code, switch the initrd loading to struct file based read and writes
instead.

Also Pass an explicit offset instead of -&gt;f_pos, and to make that easier,
use file scope file structs and offsets everywhere except for
identify_ramdisk_image instead of the current strange mix.

Consolidate the two in-kernel read helpers to make upcoming changes
easier.  The only difference are the missing call to rw_verify_area
in kernel_read, and an access_ok check that doesn't make sense for
kernel buffers to start with.

call compared to kernel_read.

Add a WARN_ON_ONCE if the file isn't actually open for write.  This
matches the check done in vfs_write, but actually warn warns as a
kernel user calling write on a file not opened for writing is a pretty
obvious programming error.

This is a very special interface that skips sb_writes protection, and not
used by modules anymore.

<content type='text'>
This partially reverts commit caf6f9c8a326 ("asm-generic: Remove
unneeded __ARCH_WANT_SYS_LLSEEK macro")

When CONFIG_COMPAT is disabled on ppc64 the kernel does not build.

There is resistance to both removing the llseek syscall from the 64bit
syscall tables and building the llseek interface unconditionally.

Pull overlayfs update from Miklos Szeredi:

 - Try to preserve holes in sparse files when copying up, thus saving
   disk space and improving performance.

 - Fix a performance regression introduced in v4.19 by preserving
   asynchronicity of IO when fowarding to underlying layers. Add VFS
   helpers to submit async iocbs.

 - Fix a regression in lseek(2) introduced in v4.19 that breaks &gt;2G
   seeks on 32bit kernels.

 - Fix a corner case where st_ino/st_dev was not preserved across copy
   up.

 - Miscellaneous fixes and cleanups.

* tag 'ovl-update-5.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs:
  ovl: fix lseek overflow on 32bit
  ovl: add splice file read write helper
  ovl: implement async IO routines
  vfs: add vfs_iocb_iter_[read|write] helper functions
  ovl: layer is const
  ovl: fix corner case of non-constant st_dev;st_ino
  ovl: fix corner case of conflicting lower layer uuid
  ovl: generalize the lower_fs[] array
  ovl: simplify ovl_same_sb() helper
  ovl: generalize the lower_layers[] array
  ovl: improving copy-up efficiency for big sparse file
  ovl: use ovl_inode_lock in ovl_llseek()
  ovl: use pr_fmt auto generate prefix
  ovl: fix wrong WARN_ON() in ovl_cache_update_ino()
